Keithley 2230-60-3 Power Supply, High-Power Triple-Channel DC, 60 V, 3 A and 5 V, 3 A

Description

Higher-voltage electronics call for a supply that climbs past 30 V without giving up its logic rail. The Keithley 2230-60-3 power supply reaches 60 V on two channels and keeps a 5 V channel for control circuits. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.

Sixty volts on two channels of the Keithley 2230-60-3 power supply

Channels 1 and 2 each deliver 60 V at 3 A, while channel 3 delivers 5 V at 3 A. The listing states 375 W as the maximum. That pairing suits circuits that run from a 48 V-class bus and still need a small logic supply. For instance, a battery management board or an industrial driver can take its main rail from one channel.

When 60 V is the right pick

Choose this model when your circuit sees more than 30 V. If it never does, the 30 V models in the same family may be enough. Therefore, list your highest rail before you ask for a quote. Remember to include any start-up peak. Then Lost in HCM can match the unit to your project. The Keithley 2230-60-3 power supply also helps when you want one unit instead of two.

Control and connections

The listing names USB and RS-232. A test script can use either one to set voltage and current on all three outputs. Confirm the AC line option, leads and software before ordering, and follow the Keithley manual for grounding and safe operating limits. Higher voltages deserve extra care, so use insulated leads and check each connection twice.

Rental or purchase for the Keithley 2230-60-3 power supply

A rental fits a qualification run, a field-issue investigation or a short research project. A purchase fits a lab that tests 48 V-class products all year. In each case, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your dates. You can compare more models in the power supply category.
