B&K Precision model XLN8018-GL is a high current programmable DC power supply with single output up to 1440 watts (0-80 V/18 A). With a 16-bit D/A, A/D converter embedded, the XLN8018-GL comes with the resolution of 1 mV in voltage setting and 1 mA in current setting. By connecting up to four XLN high current models in parallel or series, a maximum power output up to 5760 watts can be generated.
A rotary control knob and numerical and function keys make the instrument convenient and easy-to-use. The power supply provides a memory space for storage of 10 instrument settings that can be recalled directly. This feature offers an easy way to restore the application settings. Users can program to control when to cut off the output - this feature provides extra safety for burn-in and electroplating applications. The XLN8018-GL also provides overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP) and over power protection (OPP) to keep the output voltage and current within safety level and prevent damage to the UUT (Unit Under Test) due to excessive current. The key lock feature avoids accidental setting changes. When the input power and the load change, the power supply maintains a stable output because of load and line regulation of less than 0.05% (the transient time less than 1 ms). In remote mode, the XLN8018-GL can output a new voltage/current setting 50 ms after receiving a command, which can increase the throughput on production lines.
