The Xantrex XPD18-13 is a programmable DC power distribution panel engineered for mobile and demanding applications. It delivers efficient DC power management and distribution through soft switching technology and integrated power factor correction. The front panel provides simultaneous voltage and current display with ten-turn knobs for precise output control. Remote sensing with line loss compensation ensures accurate power delivery to the load, while protection circuits guard against overvoltage and overtemperature faults.
