High-Power Digital Integration: The DHP Series
The DHP (Digital High Power) Series is engineered for demanding high-power testing environments. These systems utilize modular architectures and provide comprehensive digital monitoring of parameters like voltage, current, power, AC input voltage, and diagnostics such as air inlet temperature.
Power capacities in this series vary widely. The single-output orensen (Ametek) DHP 50-40 is a rackmount DC supply rated for 50 V and 40 A. For moderate power needs, the orensen (Ametek) DHP 30-66 delivers 1980 W (up to 30 V and 66 A) and includes power-off memory. The orensen (Ametek) DHP 40-75 offers a 3000 W output (up to 40 V and 75 A) with standard GPIB and RS-232 interfaces. High-voltage requirements are met by models like the orensen (Ametek) DHP 300-6.6 (300 V, 6.6 A) and the orensen (Ametek) DHP 400-5 (400 V, 5 A). For peak capacity, the 3U orensen (Ametek) DHP 60-110 supplies up to 6600 W (60 V at 110 A) from a 3-phase AC input. Standard protections across the series include soft start, brownout, overvoltage, and overtemperature safeguards.
High Density and Low Noise: DCS and DLM Series
When rack space is restricted, the DCS (Direct Current Source) and DLM series provide high power density in compact profiles. The DCS series features 1U rackmount units with a 5-year warranty, such as the orensen (Ametek) DCS33-33E (1089 W, 33 V, 33 A) and the orensen (Ametek) DCS60-18E (1080 W, 60 V, 18 A). These models use 10-turn front-panel potentiometers and dual 3.5-digit LED displays.
For sub-kilowatt needs, the orensen (Ametek) DLM 5-75 utilizes Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology to maintain high efficiency (typically 69% at full load) and low noise. It delivers up to 5 VDC and 75 A in a highly compact 1U half-rack chassis, with options for GPIB, RS-232, or isolated analog interfaces.
Benchtop and Laboratory Solutions: The XPH Series
For standard laboratory benches, the orensen (Ametek) XPH Series - 175 to 420W employs a hybrid mixed-mode regulation system. This design combines switch-mode pre-regulation with linear post-regulation to achieve low-noise performance comparable to pure linear supplies. The units feature dual 3-digit LED displays per output and 4 mm safety binding posts. Engineers can select single-output options like the XPH 35-5 (175 W, 35 V, 5 A) and XPH 18-10 (180 W, 18 V, 10 A), or multi-output models like the XPH 35-4D (280 W, dual 35 V outputs) and the XPH 35-4T, which adds a switchable auxiliary output.
Heavy-Duty Phase-Controlled Systems: The DCR Series
For rugged, industrial workloads, the DCR family utilizes silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) phase-controlled regulation. Standard models in this family feature dual analog meters and are designed to function reliably in environments up to 70 °C.
This family is divided by voltage classes:
- orensen (Ametek) DCR40: Supplies up to 40 VDC, with power outputs from 520 W (DCR 40-13B) up to 5000 W (DCR 40-125B).
- orensen (Ametek) DCR80: Deliver up to 80 VDC with maximum power up to 1440 W (DCR 80-18B). These models support an optional M5 digital meter display.
- orensen (Ametek) DCR300: Provide up to 300 VDC, spanning from the 450 W DCR 300-1.5B to the 2700 W DCR 300-9B.
- orensen (Ametek) DCR600: High-voltage units supplying up to 600 VDC with outputs ranging from 900 W to 2700 W.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the benefit of the hybrid design in the XPH series?
- The orensen (Ametek) XPH Series - 175 to 420W combines high-efficiency switch-mode pre-regulation with linear post-regulation. This hybrid design ensures the low output noise of a linear supply while minimizing the weight and heat generation typically associated with pure linear designs.
- Do the DCR series power supplies feature digital readouts?
- Standard configurations of the orensen (Ametek) DCR40, DCR80, DCR300, and DCR600 series use dual analog meters for displaying voltage and current. However, the DCR80 series offers 3.5-digit LED digital meters via the Option M5, and the DCR600 series has digital meters available as a factory option.
- What options are available for remote programming on the DLM series?
- The orensen (Ametek) DLM 5-75 supports multiple remote interface options, including the M9G option for GPIB control, the M9C option for RS-232, and the M51A option for an isolated analog interface.
