The Agilent/Keysight 6282A is a 100 W convection-cooled DC power supply engineered for precision circuit testing, research, and development applications. This half-rack instrument delivers stable, clean power through adjustable voltage and current controls with exceptional line and load regulation. Dual operation modes—constant voltage and constant current with automatic crossover—accommodate diverse load conditions, while floating output terminals enable positive or negative sourcing. Four-position meter switching and 10-turn precision potentiometers provide fine control over output parameters.
