The HP/Agilent 6024A is an autoranging DC power supply engineered to deliver 200 W across a continuous range of voltage and current combinations. This single-output unit operates from 0 to 60 Vdc and 0 to 10 Adc, with regulation of 0.01% in both Constant Voltage and Constant Current modes. The autoranging architecture eliminates manual range switching—at 20 V the supply delivers 10 A; at 60 V output current reduces to 3.5 A, maintaining constant power delivery across the operating envelope.
