The Agilent/Keysight E3614A is a 48 W single-output DC power supply engineered for benchtop test and measurement applications requiring precise voltage and current control. This unit delivers 0–8 V DC at 0–6 A with dual-mode operation (CV/CC), making it suitable for component characterization, circuit validation, and equipment powering across laboratory and production environments.
Technical Specifications
Output Ratings
• Voltage: 0–8 V DC
• Current: 0–6 A
• Maximum Power: 48 W
• Control Modes: Constant Voltage (CV) and Constant Current (CC)
Performance
Ripple and noise (20 Hz to 20 MHz): ≤200 µV rms; ≤1 mV peak-to-peak. Load and line regulation both ≤0.01% + 2 mV. Transient response recovers within 50 µsec following output current step from full load to half load. Operating temperature 0–40 °C at rated output; derates 1% per °C from 40–55 °C.
Metering and Control
Voltage meter resolution 10 mV; current meter resolution 10 mA. Meter accuracy ±0.5% + 2 counts (25 °C ±5 °C). Voltage and current adjustment via 10-turn potentiometers. Adjustable overvoltage protection and current limiting without output short. Remote sensing and analog voltage programming supported.
Output Connectivity
Front and rear terminals. Outputs float up to 240 V from ground; either terminal can ground.
Physical and Environmental
Convection cooling. Dimensions 88.1 mm H × 212.3 mm W × 318.4 mm D. Weight 3.8 kg net.
