These power supplies have all of the great

features you would expect B+K Precision power

supplies to have and some new features not

normally seen on power supplies in this price

range. The output-shorting button allows the

user to short the output terminals to set the

current limit.

Features & Benefits

current output

■Connect two supplies in series to double

the voltage output

■Reliable, Durable

■Operate continuously at full load without

overheating

■Fully overload protected

■Coarse and fine voltage controls

■Excellent regulation

■Very low ripple

■Constant voltage or constant current

operation

■Continuously monitor voltage and current

output on two meters
