Overview
The Kepco JQE 15-6 MHS is a 100W, 1/4-rack linear DC power supply engineered as a voltage stabilizer with integrated current limiting. This compact bench/rack-mount instrument accepts dual-voltage AC input (115/230V, 50-65Hz) and delivers continuously adjustable 0-15V DC output with 0-6A maximum current—ideal for calibration, prototyping, testing, and field troubleshooting where precision and low noise are critical.
Key Features
- Linear DC Output: 0-15V adjustable, 0-6A maximum current; 90W output power
- Ultra-Low Noise & Ripple: Precision output with minimal ripple for sensitive circuits and precision instruments
- 10-Turn Voltage Control: High-resolution front-panel potentiometer for exact voltage setting
- Current Limiting: Front-panel current limit adjustment (10%-105% Io max); protects loads from overstress
- Dual Voltage Input: 115/230V AC, 50-65Hz (jumper-selectable configuration)
- Analog Remote Programming: Optional external resistance (1000Ω/Volt) or voltage (0-1mA) control
