Kepco BOP36-12M 36V 12A 400W DC Supply / Amplifier

Kepco BOP36-12M 36V 12A 400W DC Supply / Amplifier Description:

• +-36V, +-12A, 400 Watt
• Fully rated power supply + high-powered operational amplifier
• Sustained DC and the replication of arbitrary AC waveforms
• Source and sink 100% of current rating
• Separate control circuits for voltage and current.

BOP, while fully rated power supplies, are also high-powered operational amplifiers with full 4-quadrant, bipolar operation. Their output is capable of both sustained d-c and the replication of arbitrary a-c waveforms.

In Kepcos BOP, the voltage and current outputs can be controlled smoothly and linearly through the entire rated plus and minus ranges, passing smoothly through zero with no polarity switching. .

BOP are high speed power operational amplifiers that can be used to provide dynamically agile voltage for test and simulation. They are not general purpose power supplies. By the nature of the bipolar high speed design, they do not have any energy-storage noise discriminating output capacitors. To realize the full high speed potential of BOP, the load characteristics should be mainly resistive. If the load is capacitive, (>0.1 microfarad), the BOPmust be slowed to avoid oscillation. This is accomplished in voltage mode by increasing the value of the feedback capacitance. Special terminals on the user port are available to slow the BOP for optimum current-mode stability into inductive loading.
