The Agilent/Keysight E3615A is a 60 W single-output DC power supply engineered for benchtop and system-level electronic testing. It delivers 0–20 V at 0–3 A with exceptional line regulation, load regulation below 0.01% + 2 mV, and sub-millivolt ripple, making it suitable for development and characterization work requiring stable, low-noise power delivery.
