The HP/Agilent 6271B is a linear DC power supply engineered for high-current laboratory and industrial test applications. It delivers 0–40V output at 0–50A, producing up to 180W of regulated power from standard 115Vac single-phase input. The supply maintains exceptional voltage stability with line regulation of 0.01% + 200µV and load regulation identical across its operating range. Output noise remains below 200µV rms (10mV peak-to-peak) in constant voltage mode, making it suitable for precision measurement, device characterization, and burn-in testing of power-hungry electronic assemblies.
