- Tektronix offers a triple output power supply, designed by EA Elektro-Automatik, which combines a power supply and a bidirectional electronic load with energy recovery capability in a single device.
- Tektronix acquired German company EA Elektro-Automatik in January 2024 to strengthen its offering of high-power test instruments.
According to Tektronix, the EA-PSB 20000 Triple series is the first triple-channel, bidirectional DC power supply, capable of delivering high-density, parallel testing for components in complex systems. Each of the three independent channels can supply up to 10 kW of power, supporting a range of voltages up to 920 V and currents up to 340 A.
The series allows customers to consolidate multiple testing setups into one, reducing cost, equipment needs, and test time. It also features autoranging, which automatically adjusts the voltage or current to deliver full power across a wide operation range, allowing a single unit to handle various voltage and current combinations.
# Key features of the EA-PSB 20000 DC power supply:
- Three independent, fully isolated bidirectional DC channels
- Acts as a DC electronic load for energy recycling, up to 96% energy recovery
- Supports up to 30 kW total power, voltages from 0 – 60 V up to 0 – 920 V, and currents from 0- 40 A up to 0-340 A per channel
- Advanced parallel testing with galvanically isolated Share-Bus
- High-speed CAN-FD communication interface
- Reduces required rack space by 50% compared to single output devices
The EA-PSB 20000 Triple output power supply is available for pre-order today, with shipping beginning in January 2025.
