Series KLP, 1200W, 2400W Constant Power DC Power Supplies

Introducing Hyperbolic Power ™. A new technology exclusively developed by Kepco.

MODEL KLP 75-33: 0-75V@16A TO 0-36V@33A

Now featuring 2400W models that give full 2400W output power over the operating region with wide range (90-264V a-c) input in a 2U housing.

The KLP is an entirely new laboratory grade power supply in which the voltage/current limits are automatically recalculated, forming a constant-power hyperbolic-shaped boundary between the voltage and current modes. This curve, which replaces the single max-power operating point of conventional power supplies, provides the user with a greatly expanded choice of maximum power volt-ampere combinations as illustrated in the Operating Region diagram for 1200W (at right) and the Operating Region Diagram for 2400W by points A to B to C. The ability to use this hyperbolic-shaped boundary between the voltage and current modes is also referred to as extended range and autoranging. The terms hyperbolic power, extended range and autoranging are interchangeable.

The standard KLP Models (no suffix) have built-in GPIB and RS 232 interfaces. The E-Series models (suffix E) have built-in GPIB and LAN interfaces. The LAN interface is an LXI-approved ethernet-based interface that allows multiple-user access via a standard web browser. Both standard and E-Series KLP models employ Kepco's Hyperbolic Power ™ technology for full 1200 or 2400 watt power over the operating range.

EPICS Driver (Linux compatible) now available!

The Rapid Output Discharge Circuit (RODC) option (suffix R) is available on all KLP models. This circuit rapidly discharges the output capacitance, thus significantly reducing response time to reductions in output voltage.

The KLP saves money and space by reducing the number of power supplies required. For example: the single 1200W model KLP 75-33 operates as a 0-75V/16A power supply or a 0-36V/33A power supply and all 1200W volt-ampere combinations in between. Four recent models provide voltage as high as 600V (KLP 600-4 and KLP 600-4E) and current as high as 150A (KLP 10-150 and KLP 10-150E). 2400W models offer current as high as 120A (KLP 36-120 and KLP 36-120E) and voltage as high as 1,000V (KLP 1000-4 and KLP 1000-4E).

KLP are CE Marked per the LVD, EMC and RoHS 2 Directives. See applicable Declaration of Conformity.

For 1200W models Kepco makes a variety of accessory prefabricated line cord sets for connecting KLP to source power via conventional box-mounted receptacles; a user-wireable mating plug (P/N 142-0381) is supplied with the unit to allow the user to fabricate a custom line cord for applications involving custom source power wiring. The table below lists three popular cord set variants for North American applications available as accessories. For other options please contact Kepco Sales Engineering with specific requirements.
