The HP/Agilent 6011A is a 1064 W DC system power supply engineered for demanding benchtop and system integration applications. This single-output unit delivers 0 to 20 Vdc and 0 to 120 A with autoranging capabilities that maximize power across variable voltage and current combinations without manual range switching. Precise ten-turn potentiometers govern voltage and current adjustments, while front panel meters provide real-time visibility of output settings. The supply maintains exceptional load regulation (±0.01% + 5 mV voltage; ±0.01% + 15 mA current) and source regulation (±0.01% + 5 mV voltage; ±0.01% + 5 mA current). Transient recovery occurs within 2 ms to 150 mV.
