In today’s testing of complex electronic products, DC excitation at multiple voltage levels is often required. For example, avionics standards testing and automotive electronics testing may require DC voltages of up to 540 VDC or even 1000 VDC, together with high DC voltage slew rates. Conventional DC power supplies are unable to meet these testing requirements.

How can high-voltage, high-slew-rate DC power be achieved?

The AMETEK Asterion AC Series high-performance programmable AC/DC power source features a DC output mode and comes standard with dual DC ranges of 250 V and 500 V. It supports rapid DC voltage transitions while delivering high accuracy, excellent stability, and low ripple and noise.

• When the test requirement is below 500 VDC, it can directly meet the application requirements.
• When the test requirement exceeds 500 VDC, two phases of a three-phase power source can be combined to achieve a higher output voltage, with a maximum DC output of up to 1000 VDC.
