Description
Which voltage does your device really run at? On a 10 kW autoranging source, that answer sets the current you can draw. The Keysight N8948A DC power supply, an N8900 Series system, reaches 500 V and 60 A. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so you can rent it for a project or buy it.
Pick the voltage, then read the current
The two maximums never apply together, because 500 V times 60 A would be 30 kW. Rated power caps the product instead. So the current ceiling is 10000 W divided by your chosen voltage, up to the 60 A limit.
| Test voltage | Approximate current ceiling |
|---|---|
| 500 V | 20 A |
| 300 V | 33 A |
| 167 V or lower | 60 A |
Fill in a similar table for your own test before you book. Then compare it with the Keysight data sheet.
What the Keysight N8948A DC power supply listing gives you
The listing names an N8900 Series autoranging system DC power supply. The input is 400 VAC, three phase, and control runs over LAN, USB, GPIB or analog. However, the factory-installed AC-input option must match your site. Ask for a photo of the label and the option list before you commit.
Where a Keysight N8948A DC power supply earns its place
- Converter and inverter inputs that sit in the mid-voltage range.
- Screening and burn-in on a production line, with scripted start-up steps.
- Controlled load tests on DC-powered assemblies.
For example, a line team can script the startup voltage, the dwell time and the pass-fail rule. In addition, it should prove the driver on one station first. This is a DC source, so a device that pushes energy back needs a separate review of inrush and shutdown behavior.
Connections at 500 V
Higher-voltage setups need proper insulation and guarding. Pick the overvoltage and current limits from the device under test. Then confirm polarity before the output goes live. Parallel or series operation depends on the configuration, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions for it.
Rental, purchase and repair routes
For example, rental covers a validation campaign, a demonstration or extra capacity during a production ramp. Purchase suits a lab that runs the supply every week, and you can also say whether new, used or refurbished stock is acceptable. Repair requests start from the serial number, the fault symptoms and photos. SMK Vietnam only hosts this listing, while Lost in HCM supplies the unit and gives the quote.

Buyer questions on the N8948A
What current is available at 300 V?
About 33 A, because 10000 W divided by 300 V is roughly 33. The 60 A limit applies only at about 167 V or below.
Does a quote include cables and licenses?
Only the items it lists. Ask Lost in HCM to itemize cables, adapters, licenses and calibration papers.
Is this page enough for technical approval?
Not by itself. Check the unit’s serial-number configuration, your quote and the latest Keysight documentation first.
