A DC power supply provides a constant current of power to any electrical device, system, or load, and is an essential tool for electrical testing and measurement. By producing a reliable current to a device, these instruments generate and/or simulate a steady flow of voltage to loads in a circuit. This consistent current output is key in electrical systems requiring DC energy or DC energy conversion.
DC power supply units are commonly used in a variety of industries, most prominently alternative energy, for the testing of semiconductors, solar (photovoltaic) cells, batteries, and more. Technicians in these fields commonly encounter standards such as
IEC 61000,
DO-160, and
MIL-STD-704.
ATEC offers affordable DC power supply rental rates with options of high or low voltage, high or low current, and programmable functionality. Our inventory includes power sources available in precision low-power, multiple output, and high-power models to meet the entire spectrum of DC power source testing needs. We offer products from leading manufacturers like
Chroma,
NH Research, and many more.
Some of our power supplies are also capable of working as a load. For a complete list, visit our page for
