Instek GPE-3060 – Triple-Channel DC Power Supply (30V/6A/385W)

• 1/2/3 independent isolated output channels
• GPE-3060 provides CH1/CH2: 0 – 30V / 0 – 6A output; CH3 supports 5.0V at 5A
• Series/parallel tracking function
• High program resolution of 10mV/1mA and measurement resolution of 30mV/10mA
• Output On/Off function

The GPE-3060/6030 is a liner DC power supply series designed as the next generation of the GPC-3060D/6030D power supplies They deliver 385 watts of output power and feature three independent isolated output channels. The GPE-3060 offers two channels with outputs of 0 to 30V and 0 to 6A, while the GPE-6030 offers two channels with outputs of 0 to 60V and 0 to 3A. Both models feature a third channel with maximum outputs of 5.0V at 5A

The GPE-3060 provides 10mV/2mA of resolution, while the GPE-6030 offers 20mV/1mA. These power supplies adopt a new hybrid design, which can save 13% on power consumption when compared to conventional linear power supplies; this design saves on size and weight as well.

Please see the table below which compares the GPE-3060 and GPE-6030 power supplies. As hinted at by their model numbers, the differences are in peak output voltages and currents for channels 1 and 2.

The GPE-3060/6030 linear DC power supplies have a built-in digital control panel. Over-voltage protection (OVP) can be enabled and configured via an efficient and user-friendly panel button and knob. The voltage knob acts as an OVP switch during OVP configuration. The panel lock function prevents voltage and current parameters from tampering by an outside party.

In addition to independent output between each channel, the GPE-3060/6030 power supplies can perform series or parallel automatic connection. The output of channels one or two can be controlled at 30V/12A (parallel/GPE-3060) or 120V/3A (series/GPE-6030). See the specification sheet for more tracking specifications.

There are air inlet ducts in the front panel to efficiently dissipate heat. A temperature-controlled fan can effectively reduce fan noise.

The GPE-3060 provides 10mV/2mA and the GPE-6030 provides 20mV/1mA of program resolution with a readback accuracy of 30mV/10mA. These power supplies ensure that power output is pure and stable. Users can simulate a DUT with very small voltages or currents; conventional low-resolution power supplies are not as adept at operating at such low settings.

The power supply can be powered on or off manually or using a remote control connected to the rear panels. Enabling the user to determine when to power the unit on can avoid unnecessary damage caused by pre-output. Users can set the voltage and current parameters in advance and confirm that all connections have been completed before turning on the power supply.
