The TDK-Lambda Genesys 1500W (1.5kW) series is a family of programmable DC power supplies housed in a high-density 1U form factor. Designed for OEM, industrial, and laboratory environments, these units feature active power factor correction, a continuously variable universal single-phase AC input, and comprehensive protection mechanisms including OVP, UVL, and Foldback. Standard models are equipped with an embedded 16-bit RS-232/RS-485 digital interface and support advanced parallel or series operation.
