Compact Laboratory Power Supply 0 ... 15V 0 ... 100A 1.5kW - DP15-1HS

Compact Laboratory Power Supplies of the DP-S series are the entry level of our high-performance power supplies and offer excellent performance and reliability in a compact housing, designed as a desktop unit with transport handle. Ideal for high power applications such as load testing of inverters, heating elements, charging of accumulators or capacitor banks. The Compact Laboratory Power Supply of the DP-S Series can also be used in industrial processes up to 4kW continuous load completely maintenance-free.

DP-S series devices have been specially developed for testing and repair applications that require high power for short periods of time and where a stationary high-power power supply unit is not always available at the point of use or is simply not needed for cost reasons. Despite their specialization, DP-S series laboratory power supplies have also been used successfully in both production and laboratory environments for many years (according to our customers).

DP-S Series duty-cycle

The maximum available power depends on the model – see "Data Sheet."

DP-S series laboratory power supplies are designed for high short-term power output and can deliver up to 4.5 kW continuously, or at least for one hour. The laboratory power supply is equipped with intelligent temperature control so that, at outputs above 4.5 kW, the power supply automatically switches off the output when a critical temperature is reached and switches to "cooldown" mode until a normal internal temperature is reached. The current status of the power supply is indicated by an LED on the front panel.

Despite their handy design and high performance, the compact DP-S series laboratory power supplies are extremely reliable and stable. Current and voltage are regulated by a precise digital circuit with a fast response time, and the output is potential-free on all models. In addition, the DP-S series laboratory power supplies have two precise rotary controls for fine and coarse adjustment of voltage and current.

Four-digit LED display

Current and voltage are displayed on two bright four-digit LED displays on the front panel. Status information such as any errors (overvoltage, overcurrent, temperature) can be read via colored LEDs.

External control

Laboratory Power Supplies of the DP-S Series can optionally be equipped with analogue external control inputs for output voltage and current and an interlock input. The control inputs are potential-free and offer high precision through the use of high-quality signal converters. All analogue connections are accessible via a shielded safety plug on the front of the unit, so that it is not necessary to reach to the rear for connection.

Expand your DP-S Series laboratory power supply with additional functions—even after purchase.

DP-S Series power supplies are compatible with many optional AP Series expansion modules, so you are no longer limited to the configuration you choose when ordering, but can also expand certain functions at a later date using external modules. In addition, the AP series is continuously being expanded and maintained with new modules, so that you can also expand existing units in the future with new functions that we will introduce.

Currently, the following AP series expansion modules are compatible with DP-S series Laboratory power Supplies:

Model AP9: Combined reverse current protection (inductive and capacitive loads)
Depending on the maximum voltage and current, the module is manufactured in 19″ 1U 1/2, 2U, or 3U designs and protects your power supply unit from reverse currents that can occur when operating with large capacitive or inductive loads. This means you do not need any additional protective circuitry between the power supply unit and your load, which greatly reduces the effort involved.

Model AP8: Additional EMC filter with output capacity
Some loads require a cleaner voltage than the power supply unit can deliver in its basic configuration, or, conversely, generate very strong interference (e.g., due to high-frequency current consumption with very steep edges—square wave) which can affect the control of the power supply unit at high currents. For these cases, we have developed the AP8 module, which combines a three-stage EMC filter with a large fast capacitance to further stabilize the output voltage of the power supply in critical applications and to protect the power supply from influences caused by loads. This combination guarantees a stable output voltage even under maximum load from complex high-frequency loads.

Optional analogue inputs and heavy-current coupling with strain-relief (units over 2500W)

Portable laboratory power supplies of the DP-S series are designed for high performance with maximum mobility, while a powerful cooling system ensures low temperatures even under high load. The mains connections are either designed as C19 / C20 sockets / plugs or as high-voltage couplings with pull fuses. A 3-phase supply has been omitted to ensure maximum flexibility for outdoor applications, so that power supply units with a maximum power of 6 kW can also be operated on only one phase with a fuse protection of 32A. The analogue control signals (optional) are connected at the front via a shielded DIN socket, a suitable plug is included.

Digital RS232 interface (standard from the current revision onwards)

Equipped with an RS232 connection as standard and full support for the Modbus RTU protocol, DP-S series laboratory power supplies facilitate both integration into existing infrastructures and the development of new ones. The open Modbus RTU protocol allows customer-specific control solutions to be implemented quickly and effectively, so that nothing stands in the way of automation.

Interlock input (optional)

By adding the interlock function to the power supply unit, the output of the power supply unit can be blocked immediately under certain conditions. An example application would be to block the output of the power supply unit when the protective cover of a machine connected to the power supply unit is open. Furthermore, the interlock input can be used to switch the output of the power supply unit on or off remotely by first switching the output on manually and then enabling or blocking it via the interlock signal. On DP-S Series Laboratory Power Supplies, the interlock input is designed as floating loop which blocks the output of the power supply in the event of an interruption - the option designation is A1.

Analogue external remote control of the output voltage (optional)

If your application requires an analogue connection and remote control of the output voltage of the power supply unit, an analogue control input (2-pin) can be realised with option U via the DIN connector on the front. The standards 0 ... 10V (U1), 0 ... 5V (U2) and 4 ... 20mA (U3) are available for the control.

Analogue external remote control of the output current (optional)

Option L adds a control input (2-pin) to the power supply unit via the DIN connector on the front which enables analogue external remote control of the output current of the power supply unit. The standards 0 ... 10V (L1), 0 ... 5V (L2) and 4 ... 20mA (L3) are available for the control.
