E3648A

Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP)Agilent HP

The Keysight (Agilent/HP) E3648A is a programmable, dual-output DC power supply designed for benchtop and system applications. It delivers up to 90 watts of total clean and reliable power across two isolated channels, each featuring dual-range output flexibility (0-8V/5A or 0-20V/2.5A). Part of the E3640 series, it features low ripple and noise, built-in remote sensing, and standard GPIB and RS-232 interfaces with SCPI command support.
