The Agilent/Keysight E3612A is a 30 W single-output DC power supply engineered for laboratory and bench testing environments. It delivers dual voltage and current ranges—0 to 60 Vdc at 0 to 0.5 A, or 0 to 120 Vdc at 0 to 0.25 A—with precision control via 10-turn potentiometers and real-time simultaneous metering of both voltage and current on separate digital panel meters.
