The Kepco CK8-5 is a single-output regulated DC power supply engineered for laboratory, industrial, and research applications requiring stable, adjustable voltage and current sources. Built for demanding test and control environments, this benchtop instrument delivers precise output regulation across a range of electronic testing scenarios.
## Technical Specifications
Voltage and current outputs are independently adjustable. Voltage regulation maintains ±(0.1% of rated + 2 digits) stability, while current regulation holds ±(0.2% of rated + 2 digits). Temperature coefficient performance is specified at 100 ppm/°C of rated output. The supply integrates overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP) with external control capabilities for protection limits. Constant current priority output mode eliminates overshoot during capacitive load or diode testing.
## Key Features
• Independently adjustable voltage and current outputs
• Voltage and current regulation with high accuracy
• Remote sensing capability to compensate for wiring voltage drops
• Overvoltage and overcurrent protection with external control
• Constant current priority mode for capacitive load testing
• Front panel controls for output adjustment and on/off switching
• Analog and digital control options
• Remote voltage control via resistance (potentiometer)
• External analog port for protection limit programming
## Typical Applications
The CK8-5 serves laboratory power sourcing, industrial equipment testing, research circuit validation, and precision control applications. Its regulation characteristics and protection features make it suitable for component characterization, device testing, and system integration work where stable, adjustable DC power is critical.
## Compatibility & Integration
The supply supports analog control interfaces and remote voltage programming through external resistance inputs. Protection limits respond to external analog references. Front panel controls provide direct operator access to voltage and current settings with output enable/disable capability.
