The Keysight N8952A is a 15,000 W autoranging system DC power supply engineered for demanding automated test equipment (ATE) and research and development (R&D) applications. Its autoranging topology enables a single unit to deliver any voltage and current combination within its ratings at full power, effectively replacing multiple traditional fixed-output supplies. With maximum output specifications of 200 V and 210 A across 15,000 W, the N8952A operates from 400 VAC input (360–440 V range) and occupies just 3U of rack space, delivering exceptional power density.

– Key Features
• Autoranging output provides wide voltage and current combinations at full 15,000 W power without manual range selection
• Built-in voltage and current measurement capabilities eliminate the need for external metering
• Overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), and overtemperature (OTP) protection
• Multiple interface standards: LAN (LXI Core compliant), USB, GPIB, and analog
• Integrated web server for browser-based remote access and control
• Remote operation supported via USB, GPIB, analog, and LXI-compatible LAN
– Typical Applications
• Automated test equipment for high-power component and subsystem validation
• Research and development testing of power electronics and battery systems
• Industrial test benches requiring flexible voltage and current sourcing
– Compatibility & Integration
Multiple N8952A or N8900 series units support master/slave parallel operation, enabling configurations up to 60 kW (four units) or exceeding 100 kW (additional paralleling). This architecture simplifies scaling for high-power test systems while maintaining unified control through a single interface.
