Digital High Power (DHP) Series

The DHP series consists of high-power, modular programmable switching DC power supplies engineered for demanding test profiles. Models in this series include the orensen (Ametek) DHP 50-40, orensen (Ametek) DHP 400-5, orensen (Ametek) DHP 30-66, orensen (Ametek) DHP 60-110, orensen (Ametek) DHP 40-75, and orensen (Ametek) DHP 300-6.6.

These supplies utilize advanced digital monitoring and diagnostics, with vacuum fluorescent or digital displays showing voltage, current, output power, and inlet temperatures. The orensen (Ametek) DHP 60-110 delivers up to 6.6 kW (60 VDC at 110 A) in a 3U chassis using a 3-phase AC input, while the orensen (Ametek) DHP 40-75 offers 3 kW of output power. To support automated system setups, several models feature dedicated power-off memory (such as the orensen (Ametek) DHP 30-66 and DHP 40-75) to restore the last active settings upon power initialization, as well as an external shutdown capability to inhibit output remotely.

Direct Current Source (DCS) and DLM Series

For applications requiring high power density in space-constrained layouts, the DCS and DLM series provide compact rackmount footprints.

  • orensen (Ametek) DCS60-18E: A 1U rackmount model delivering 0 to 60 VDC at up to 18 ADC (1080 W) with standard analog interfaces and optional RS-232 or GPIB control.
  • orensen (Ametek) DCS33-33E: This 1089 W unit operates from an active PFC universal input (85-264 VAC), outputting 0 to 33 VDC at up to 33 ADC with a low-profile 1U design.
  • orensen (Ametek) DLM 5-75: Operating on a single-phase input from 90 to 264 VAC, this 375 W model uses Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology to achieve low noise and high efficiency in a compact 1U half-rack chassis.

Rugged SCR Phase-Controlled (DCR) Series

For high-power, industrial-grade reliability, the phase-controlled SCR-based DCR families deliver highly regulated DC power. These models are suitable for heavy-duty bench or rack applications:

  • orensen (Ametek) DCR40: Offers adjustable output up to 40 VDC. Configurations like the DCR 40-125B provide up to 5000 W of output power. Typical transient recovery time is 50 ms to return within 150 mV of steady-state voltage for a 50% load step.
  • orensen (Ametek) DCR80: Delivers stable DC power up to 80 VDC. Current ratings range from 4.5 A to 18 A, supplying up to 1440 W of power.
  • orensen (Ametek) DCR300: Provides regulated output voltage up to 300 VDC. The DCR 300-9B model supports output current up to 9.0 Adc and a maximum output power of 2700 W.
  • orensen (Ametek) DCR600: Reaches up to 600 VDC with model variations supporting up to 4.5 ADC (2700 W). Line and load regulation in voltage mode is rated at 0.05% of the maximum output voltage.

Benchtop Mixed-Mode (XPH) Series

The orensen (Ametek) XPH Series - 175 to 420W consists of compact benchtop power supplies. These units use a hybrid mixed-mode regulation system that combines switch-mode pre-regulation with linear post-regulation. Available in single, dual, and triple output configurations, they include 4 mm safety binding posts for output connections. The series includes the XPH 35-5 (0 to 35 V, 0 to 5 A) and the XPH 35-4T, which features an auxiliary output switchable between 3.3 V and 5.0 V.
