New Keysight DC Power supply announced!
« on: September 15, 2022, 08:54:41 pm »
Hi Guys,

My first post, hi all! I work mainly on uC programming with a passion for audio electronics :P

It looks like a new Keysight power supply is announced today with release in November 2022



It would be great if it is a 4 quadrant supply like a Kepco thing.
A waveform generator is present too. Great if it would be possible to superimpose a waveform on the DC.

In the video it looks also it has some oversized connection terminals. Maybe some models >100V DC?

Does anybody have more information?

Those oversized binding posts are for high current. Say tens of amps.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

If you're "just" a hobbyist, and not a business, Keysight will a) (probably) not sell to you, and b) (almost certainly) not provide any customer support.
See these threads:

For sure based on the E36300 Series chassis.  The ARB feature is interesting, I wonder if that is possible on the main output or if it's separate?

What's with the big flat head screw type thing in the middle?

That screw looks like for the front connectors, another angle can be seen at about the 15s mark.  Around that point you can also see it is set to 60V, 40A, if that is true, wow.

That is where you put the screw driver in.  The kind of binding posts are also used on HP / Agilent / Keysight DC load modules:

Is this link spamming is happening on other Keysight threads?

Some, and for the unwary of KS current policies readers have a right to know how they might be received should they need to contact HQ, shouldn't they ?

I don't think this is a power supply that most of us can afford.. regardless of if they would even sell it to us.

Looks expensive indeed. 60*40 = 2.4kW. And with 100uV resolution... That is gong to be an interesting PSU for sure. Maybe Dave gets one for a play date just to make us drool.  8)

Definitely will be "expensive" and prices have gone up a lot in the last year as well.

Still will be an interesting product if it can do 2,400W as a signal generator and source/sink.

Some, and for the unwary of KS current policies readers have a right to know how they might be received should they need to contact HQ, shouldn't they ?

Sure, but if people are spamming every Keysight thread with links to whatever it is they have a bee in their bonnet about then I will have to clamp down on it. We can't just have people doing that for whatever it happens to be.

Yet some that have been impacted by current policy might also consider those sort of moves are akin to suppressing the truth.
Posts in those threads are rarer than they were however they still get bumped to P1 here.
Then in new threads asking about instruments someone might recommend a KS and another will by way of a warning to do their homework drop the links again.
If they are lies then sure you should jump on it after doing your homework.
Just a day or 2 back was a report their eBay shop had been emptied of any products as there too was a warning their products weren’t for anybody but professionals which we all know is a BS statement.

+1 for this.  Mentioning a vendor's restrictive sales & support policy is no different than warning a newbie like the OP about a technical issue regarding a piece of equipment that they might be thinking of buying.  The OP was alerted to the issue and referred to the existing threads on the topic.  I don't see how that can be considered 'link spamming'.

I looked more closely at the video and could make out the model number E36155A.
Searching for this model number reveals there is also an E36154A as listed here:
https://www.keysight.com/us/en/lib/software-detail/driver/e36000-power-supplies-ivi-instrument-drivers.html

I'm sure this was under some NDA and posted by accident, but the internet never forgets:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220909163521/https://www.gapwireless.com/blog/keysight-high-power-supply-e36154a-e36155a/

800W continuous with 2400W surge capabitilies.
Scope view and AWG are upgrade options.

It looks like a PSU I want !

60V and 40A but limited to 800W
Very nice.

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can not.

The prominent flat head screws off to the side (now that there is a better image) are equally interesting. Field swappable guard? or field swappable terminations?

Do we put money on it being linear or SMPS ?

I do wonder how its cost will stack up against my 720W 40V 60A SPS5042X.
