The Keysight E3631A is an 80 W triple-output DC power supply engineered for benchtop test and design applications requiring independent voltage rails. It delivers three isolated outputs: one 0 to 6 V @ 5 A channel and two ±25 V @ 1 A channels. The ±25 V outputs track within ±(0.2% + 20 mV) and can be configured in series for 0 to 50 V @ 1 A operation. Isolation between the 6 V supply and ±25 V supplies reaches ±240 Vdc.
