Choosing the Right Lab Power Supply for Your Test Bench Thursday, March 27, 2025 作者： Andrea Vinci

A lab power supply is more than just a tool—it's the foundation of reliable circuit testing. Whether you're debugging prototypes, designing new electronics, or running precise experiments, the right power supply ensures stable, accurate power delivery. Choosing the best one for your test bench means considering factors like voltage range, efficiency, and safety features. Let’s explore how to …

Parallel Power Supplies: A Complete Guide to Increasing Current Capacity and Reliability Wednesday, March 19, 2025 作者： Andrea Vinci

Introduction In many test and industrial applications, a single power supply may not provide enough current to meet system demands. Connecting power supplies in parallel is a practical solution that allows users to increase available current while maintaining a stable voltage. This technique can also improve system redundancy, reducing the risk of downtime due to power failures. In this guide …

Perform More Tests and Increase Throughput with High-Power, 3-Channel Bidirectional Power Supplies Friday, February 14, 2025 作者： Jarod Todd

They are common challenges every test engineer is likely to face at some point: production demand is outpacing the capability of your test system, or you need to test more parameters simultaneously. Until now, you have needed to build more test systems requiring more test equipment. That has been true for high power applications in which multiple DC power supplies are required. Applications …

New IsoVu™ Isolated Current Shunt Probes Address Neglected Current Ranges Tuesday, November 12, 2024 作者： Yogesh Pai

The most common approach to current measurement on oscilloscopes is to use current transformers, Rogowski coils or Hall effect clamp-on probes. High-quality magnetic probes are accurate when used within their specifications. They are also convenient when current is flowing in wires or test loops, since they do not require breaking the circuit. However, they have some intrinsic limitations. In this …
