The External Size of the Power Supply

Characteristics of the Voltage Output

• The KWR power supplies are regulated DC power supplies with a high voltage and current output. These operate in CC or CV mode within a wide operating range limited only by the output power.
• The operating area of each power supply is determined by the rated output power as well as the voltage and current rating.
• When the power supply is configured so that the total output (current * voltage output) is less than the rated power output, the power supply functions as a typical constant current, constant voltage power supply.
• If however, the power supply is configured such that the total output (current* voltage output) exceeds the rated power output, the effective output is limited to the power limit of the unit. In this case, the output current and voltage then depend purely on the load value.
• Below is a comparison of the operating areas of each power supply.

Specifications

Note: the specifications below are tested under the conditions of temperature 25°C ± 5°C and the warm-up for 5 minutes.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice.
