The Xantrex XPD18-30 is a programmable DC power supply for benchtop and rackmount deployment, delivering 0–18V at 0–30A with 540W maximum output. This unit employs zero voltage soft switching technology with integrated power factor correction to minimize thermal stress and improve efficiency. Dual front panel displays present output voltage and current simultaneously, while ten-turn precision knobs enable fine control. The supply incorporates 5V line loss compensation via remote sensing to maintain regulation across distributed loads. Protection includes overvoltage and over-temperature safeguards.
