The Sorensen DCS100-10E is a 1 kW programmable DC power supply engineered for precision voltage and current control across demanding test, research, and manufacturing environments. Its 0–100 VDC / 0–10 ADC output capability delivers full rated power at any volt-amp combination within these limits, eliminating power-stepping constraints. The unit operates from 115/230 VAC selectable input (50–60 Hz, single phase) and transitions automatically between constant voltage and constant current modes based on load requirements.
