The HP/Agilent 6028A is a 200 W autoranging DC power supply delivering 0–60 V and 0–10 A across benchtop, product development, quality control, and educational applications. Its autoranging output topology maximizes available power across the voltage-current plane without manual range switching. The instrument operates in constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes with automatic crossover, protecting both supply and load. Ten-turn front-panel potentiometers provide fine control of voltage and current. Remote programming and sensing via GPIB enable integration into automated test systems. The supply supports auto-series and auto-parallel configurations for expanded system flexibility.
