Description
Fifteen hundred volts is a safety topic before it is a performance topic. The Keysight N8937A DC power supply carries ratings of 1500 V, 30 A and 15000 W, and it belongs to the N8900 Series of autoranging systems. Its feed is 208 VAC three phase. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges repair intake on request.
Plan the setup before the output
At this voltage, insulation and guarding belong in the plan from day one. Also keep the work area controlled, and brief everyone who enters it. Verify polarity before you enable the output, and choose the overvoltage and current limits from what your device under test can survive. Then follow the Keysight user guide for the output terminals, remote sensing, interlocks and discharge procedure.
What 15 kW leaves at high voltage
The rated power caps the product of voltage and current. At 1500 V, the ceiling is about 10 A, while at 1000 V it rises to about 15 A. The full 30 A is available only at roughly 500 V or lower.
So this model suits high-voltage work with modest current. However, it does not suit a heavy load at high voltage, so check each operating point in the Keysight data sheet.

Work suited to the Keysight N8937A DC power supply
- Feeding high-voltage DC-powered assemblies during development.
- Supplying converter inputs while engineers tune a design.
- Running endurance and screening checks on a factory station.
It is a DC source, so confirm the energy flow before you connect a device. Do not expect it to act as a regenerative supply or a bidirectional battery emulator.
Wiring and limits to agree up front
First, write down the cable rating, the grounding arrangement and the shutdown behavior in your procedure. In addition, ask whether any interlock is part of the supplied configuration. The listing says remote sensing and parallel or series operation depend on the configuration, so treat them with care and read the maker’s instructions.
The photo and its label
The product photo of the Keysight N8937A DC power supply is a family view with a blue display, two knobs, a keypad and a black rotary switch. However, the label on it shows a different model number, so the quotation confirms your exact unit.
Lost in HCM handles the quote
SMK Vietnam only shows this listing. It also does not stock, rent, service or ship the unit. To ask about the Keysight N8937A DC power supply, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your voltage range, dates and delivery city. You can also read about more power supplies, visit Keysight, or contact SMK Vietnam.
N8937A questions
How much current can it supply at 1500 V?
About 10 A. Past 500 V the power rating, not the 30 A limit, sets the ceiling.
Where does the full 30 A start?
The full 30 A needs about 500 V or less, since 15000 W divided by 30 A gives that value.
Do I get a safety guide with it?
The listing points to the Keysight user guide for terminals, interlocks and discharge, and the quotation lists what is included.
