The Ametek/Xantrex/Sorensen XFR 20-60 is a 1200 W programmable DC power supply engineered for research, product development, and production testing environments. This single-output unit delivers 0–20 Vdc at 0–60 A with automatic CV/CC mode crossover, backed by soft switching technology that minimizes transients, improves efficiency, and reduces thermal load. The 1U rack-mountable chassis (19-inch standard) supports both benchtop and integrated system configurations, with stackable thermal design eliminating the need for inter-unit ventilation gaps.
