Power Supplies

Programmable power supplies provide the controlled current and voltage source behind every electrolysis or flow-cell characterization test, available in two power classes to match project scale. The compact B&K Precision BK9182B covers lower-power work up to 210 W with dual output ranges, while the 1.44 kW XLN3640 scales to 40 A per unit and can be paralleled or stacked in series across up to four units for higher-current stack testing. Both are fully programmable over USB and RS485, with GPIB and LAN available, making them equally suited to manual bench work or automated test sequences.

• Two Power Classes: BK9182B (up to 210 W) for single-cell work, XLN3640 (1.44 kW) for higher-current or stack testing.
• Multi-Interface Control: USB, RS485, and optional GPIB/LAN on both models for manual or automated operation.
• Stackable for Higher Current: Up to four XLN3640 units can be connected in parallel or series for extended current or voltage range.
• Programmable Test Sequences: Built-in list mode stores multiple current/voltage steps for automated cycling profiles.
• Full Protection Suite: Over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection standard on both models.
• LabVIEW Ready: Drivers available for both models to integrate with existing automated test infrastructure.
