Product Description
The BK Precision 1901B is a laboratory-grade switching mode DC power supply featuring a variable output of 1–32 VDC at up to 30 A continuous, with a maximum output power of 960 W. It offers automatic CV/CC (Constant Voltage/Constant Current) crossover operation, dual-action coarse/fine rotary encoder controls, a front-panel 5 A auxiliary output, and both USB and analog remote control interfaces. Connectors include binding posts for the main and auxiliary outputs, a USB Type-B port, and a DB9 remote control terminal. Protections include overvoltage, overtemperature, overload, and short-circuit (constant current) safeguards, making it suitable for demanding bench and laboratory applications.
