Agilent/Keysight N7972A APS Dynamic DC Power Supply 40V 50A

The Keysight N7972A is a 2000W dynamic DC power supply designed for automated test equipment (ATE) applications requiring high-speed dynamic sourcing and measurement. It offers industry-leading specifications to accelerate test throughput, with command processing speeds under 2ms and fast up/down programming up to 500µs. The power supply also features an adjustable measurement rate to balance speed and accuracy, and provides dual voltage and current measurement capabilities with DMM-like accuracy. Furthermore, it includes power, peak power, watt-hour, and amp-hour measurements for detailed DUT characterization. For power storage test applications, the N7972A provides full two-quadrant operation, enabling continuous smooth operation between positive and negative current transitions, programmable current limits, and waveforms.
