B+K Precision BK917xB, 918xB Programmable Dual-Range DC Power Supplies

Single Channel Models BK9171B, BK9172B, BK9181B, BK9182B, BK9183B, BK9184B, BK9185B, and Dual Channel BK9173B, BK9174B

The B+K Precision models BK917xB and BK918xB are programmable dual-range DC power supplies. All nine models deliver clean, stable and precise output power due to their exceptionally low ripple and noise, low temperature coefficient, excellent regulation, and fast transient response time characteristics. For bench use the power supplies offer an intuitive user interface with a full numerical keypad for convenient data entry. R&D and design engineers will appreciate front panel output and remote sense terminals (available on select models). The devices have USB interfaces (standard) and optional GPIB/LAN, RS232 or RS485 interfaces. Free application software is provided for remote control. Additionally, this series offers unique features, such as versatile LED test modes, automatic range selection, and an optional 8 bit bidirectional digital I/O interface. To protect your DUT (device under test), the BK917xB/918xB series provides safety options such as OVP, OCP, and a key-lock feature to prevent accidental change of parameters that might damage your DUT.
