Most instruments on the bench get switched on when something goes wrong. The power supply is on from the first minute of the day to the last, quietly holding the voltage while you get on with everything else. You only notice it when it lets you down, so it pays to choose one you can forget about.
The compact PL series is where most benches start. These Aim-TTi bench power supplies use linear regulation for a clean, low-noise output, with proper analogue knobs that are quicker to nudge than any menu. Running automated tests? The -P versions add USB, LAN and RS-232, and the -P(G) models GPIB, so the same supply can sit in a test rack as happily as on a desk. Working with piezo drivers or high-voltage sensors? The PLH120 and PLH250 take you up to 120V and 250V.
When the last millivolt matters, the QL355P SII is the precision choice. Switchable remote sense corrects for the voltage lost in your leads, so the device under test sees exactly what the display says.
Need flexibility more than precision? That's where PowerFlex comes in. The CPX400DP gives you two isolated 420W outputs, each able to deliver up to 60V or up to 20A, so one supply covers a low-voltage, high-current motor test in the morning and a 48V rail in the afternoon. Wire the outputs in series or parallel and you've got even more headroom. For bigger loads, the QPX600D and QPX1200S push PowerFlex to 600W per channel and 1200W.
A supply is only half the setup. Feed your circuit a known signal from a function generator such as the 20MHz TG2000, or prove a supply or battery under load with an electronic load. Round things off with bench multimeters and good test leads, and talk to us if you'd like a hand matching the supply to the job.
