Datasheet

The new Sorensen XG Series of DC power supplies offers the highest power level currently available in a 1U half-rack casing. The 850 W of output power is provided in 12 different models with maximum output voltages up to 600 V and currents up to 110 A. High-frequency soft-switching technology is used to provide low output noise coupled with high power efficiency. This technology also minimises the stress on the switching devices, thus providing high MTBF.

The Sorensen XG Series comes as standard with USB 2.0, RS-232, RS-485, isolated and non-isolated analogue interfaces to provide a comprehensive set of options to connect to a PC or other network device. This design provides the convenience of being able to accommodate a wide range of installation configurations. Ethernet and GPIB interfaces are available as options.

Up to 30 XG power supplies can be connected easily via an RS-485 bus to provide flexibility in remote programming. This eliminates the cost and complexity of requiring GPIB cards in each unit. Once connected, multiple power supplies can be controlled via a single LAN, USB 2.0, GPIB, RS-232 or RS-485 interface. This provides an efficient option to centrally manage each PSU within an application.

The XG Series is equipped with a unique pushbutton encoder and function selector dial to provide a simple, uncluttered front panel. Both voltage and current can be set quickly and easily using these two controls. Front-panel access can be locked out to ensure secure remote operation.
