The Sorensen DCS80-15E is a 1.2 kW programmable DC power supply engineered for precision benchtop and system-level test applications. It delivers 0–80 Vdc across 0–15 A with switchmode topology, enabling high power density in a compact, low-profile form factor. Constant Voltage and Constant Current modes with automatic crossover ensure stable operation across diverse load profiles. The supply accepts 100–132 Vac or 200–250 Vac single-phase input (selectable, 47–63 Hz) and achieves 85% typical efficiency.
