The BK PRECISION 1650 is a triple output linear DC power supply engineered for laboratory testing, prototyping, and general electronics work. It delivers 50 W total power across three independent outputs: two variable channels (0–25 V DC each, 0.5 A max) and one fixed 5 V DC channel rated at 5 A. The variable outputs support independent operation or series/parallel tracking for expanded voltage and current capability. Built-in analog metering displays voltage and current in real time. Overload, short circuit, and reverse polarity protection safeguard connected circuits. Continuously adjustable current limiting provides precise load control. Standard binding posts and chassis ground terminal enable straightforward integration into test setups.
