Rohde & Schwarz HMC8042 Power Supply

• High energy efficiency, low heat dissipation and quiet fans
• Low residual ripple due to linear post regulation
• Convenient parallel and serial operation via V/I tracking
• Overvoltage protection (OVP) for all outputs

One, two or three channels - R&S®HMC804x power supplies with their specifications and wide range of functions are ideal for use in development labs and industrial environments. Thanks to their high energy efficiency, the linear power supplies remain cool and quiet, even at maximum load. Practical interfaces and connectors allow users to work quickly and conveniently with the R&S®HMC804x, even in 19" racks.

The R&S®HMC804x family consists of three models with a maximum total power of up to 100 W and a continuous voltage range from 0 V to 32 V. The one-channel R&S®HMC8041 delivers a maximum of 10 A, the two-channel R&S®HMC8042 a maximum of 5 A and the three-channel R&S®HMC8043 a maximum of 3 A per channel. The two-channel and three-channel models enable users to connect multiple outputs in parallel or in series to increase the voltage or current. The outputs are galvanically isolated, floating, and protected against overloading and short circuits. Voltage, current and power values are output on a brilliant QVGA display.

The R&S®HMC804x offers a wide range of logging functions, an integrated energy meter and electronic fuses that can be individually combined for each channel, making it ideal for hardware developers, labs and industrial environments. Linear switching power supplies ensure high efficiency, for minimum heat dissipation even at full load. Developers and industrial users benefit from useful functions such as sequenced start of channels, EasyArb EasyRamp functions that are directly programmable on the device, an analog input for external control of voltage values, an external trigger input for controlling channels and arb steps, and adjustable overvoltage/overpower protection for each channel. All connectors, including SENSE, are available on the rear panel. A cage clamp facilitates rack installation and de-installation. The LXI-compliant power supply can be controlled via LAN, USB or an optional GPIB interface. The CDC (virtual COM port) and TMC classes are supported for communications via USB. The remote control commands are based on the SCPI standard. The R&S®HMC804x power supplies from the Rohde & Schwarz value instruments product range offer top quality and intelligent, practical functions at an extremely attractive price.

Ideal for industrial environments

Power supply units in industrial production environments are often found in 19" racks. The HMC804x series instruments are very suitable for this use as all models can be integrated into 19” racks with the rack mounting kits HZC95. Two HMC8043 models built side by side result in 6 channels on 2 rack units. Please ensure sufficient space is available in the rack for adequate cooling (required minimum space above a HMC804x: 1 rack unit). Additionally, all front panel connectors plus SENSE lines are located at the back panel of the instrument. In order to facilitate the regular fitting-out for calibration the rear panel connector was designed with a WAGO cage clamp. The complementary part is available as option HZC40.
