The HP/Agilent 6023A is an autoranging DC power supply delivering stable, regulated power across 0–20V and 0–30A with 242W maximum output. Its autoranging architecture eliminates manual range selection, dynamically optimizing voltage and current delivery to match load impedance—whether 20V/10A, 10V/20A, or 6.7V/30A configurations. Ten-turn front-panel controls provide precise voltage and current adjustment, while remote programming and sensing enable integration into automated test systems. The unit operates in both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes with thermostat-based over-temperature shutdown and automatic recovery.
