Xantrex Introduces New Line Of High Power Density Programmable DC Power Supplies

Xantrex Technology Inc. announced the launch of the new Sorensen XG Series programmable dc power supplies. The Sorensen XG Series, with 850W of power, is claimed to have the highest power density for any 1U, half-rack form factor power supply on the market.

The new Sorensen XG Series is available in 12 models ranging in power from 6 to 600V. The series is designed for a wide range of production test, laboratory, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and quality assurance applications. It provides comprehensive interfaces, including standard USB 2.0 and optional GPIB or LAN Ethernet interfaces for connecting to a computer or other network devices. Furthermore, the XG Series is also said to boast features unavailable on competitive units, such as auxiliary outputs and a save/recall mode that captures three memory settings. Economical connection of up to 30 Sorensen XG Series units is accomplished via a multi-channel RS-485 bus that eliminates the need for a GPIB card in each unit.

"The Sorensen XG Series extends our family of high power density solutions for our customers’ production test and OEM applications," said Joe Budano, Xantrex’s President & General Manager, Programmable Power. "This product was designed for seamless system integration as well as ease of operation with powerful front panel user controls."
