High Current Switching DC Power Supplies

Models 1693 & 1694

High Current at a Low Price

B&K Precision models 1693 and 1694 switching
mode DC power supplies provide high current
output in a lightweight and compact form factor.
These 900W power supplies provide a variable
voltage output from 1V to 15V at 60A (model

1693) or from 1V to 30V at 30A (model 1694).
In addition, a remote sensing terminal is available
to compensate for voltage drop across the load
leads.

The analog remote control feature can be used
to control the output voltage or turn the output
on/off.

Output Current 60 A 30 A

Switching power supplies have the advantage of
being lightweight and high in efficiency when
compared to traditional linear mode power
supplies. The efficiency of the 1693 and 1694
can exceed 85% under optimal conditions. These
power supplies are also designed with advanced
circuitry to protect against overtemperature and
overvoltage conditions. Combined with bright
LED displays, the 1693 and 1694 are ideal for
users who want a reliable and easy-to-use
high-current DC power supply for system or
bench use.

Easy OperationValuable Features

Auxiliary Output Terminal

Conveniently placed on the front panel for
quick use, this auxiliary terminal is connected
in parallel with the main output terminal and
provides an additional output for your
application.

Analog Remote Control Capability

Use the included connector to wire up to an
external variable DC voltage source or variable
resistor to remotely control the power supply's
output voltage or to turn the output on/off.
