The equipment uses an active Power Factor Correction, enabling worldwide use on a mains input from 90V up to 264V AC (models with up to 1500W) or requires a two-phase input of 340V up to 460V AC.

Equipped with a graphics display and five push-buttons, the device can be operated very comfortably. Voltage and current can be adjusted continuously from 0...100%. The user can also define user profile and preset list of set values, which can be stored and restored. Actual and set values are all displayed at once on the display.

Different units with voltage output ranges from 16V to 500V, current output ranges from 4A to 170A and power output ranges from 320W to 5000W, are available. The output voltage is adjustable from 0V up to max. voltage.

Analogue inputs with voltage ranges from 0V...10V or 0V...5V to set output voltage and current from 0...100% are available. To monitor the output voltage and current, analogue outputs are provided with voltage ranges from 0V...10V or 0V...5V. Several digital inputs and outputs are available for controlling and monitoring the status.

Models with 5000W nominal power feature a "Share Bus", which is led out on the front. This connection is used to gain a symmetric load current distribution during parallel operation of several units of the same type. It also effects the output voltage control, so that one unit of the parallel connection can be determined as master, controlling the others.

Since June 2011 also models with 1000W or 1500W feature this Share bus.

Options:

• Digital interface cards (USB, RS232, CAN, LAN/Ethernet)
• Water cooling (5kW models only)
