The Power Ten P83C-80-125 is a 15 kW DC power supply engineered for high-current industrial and laboratory applications requiring stable, regulated output. This single-output unit delivers up to 80.0 V DC at 125.00 A, housed in a compact 3U rack-mount form factor (19″ × 5.25″ × 22″, 80 lbs). The P83C operates from three-phase AC mains at standard 190–253 VAC, 47–63 Hz, with optional input configurations at 360–440 VAC or 432–528 VAC, drawing 20 A, 38 A, or 56 A respectively at 5 kW, 10 kW, and 15 kW output levels.
