The Xantrex XPD18-30 is a programmable DC power supply delivering 540 watts in a quarter-rack benchtop form factor. It provides 0–18 V DC output with 0–30 A capacity, making it ideal for test, measurement, and OEM applications requiring precise voltage and current control. The unit employs zero voltage soft switching technology to achieve >80% efficiency while minimizing noise. Universal input (85–264 VAC) with 0.98 minimum power factor correction reduces input harmonics and current draw.
