EA-PSB Series

Modular Compact DC Power Supply 1.5kW to 30kW in single unit, Scalable up to 3.84MW

The EA-PSB 10000 and 20000 Series bidirectional DC power supplies combine high efficiency, precision, and flexibility in a single solution. Featuring regenerative technology with energy recovery efficiency exceeding 96%, these systems return absorbed energy back to the grid, reducing operating costs and heat generation.

True autoranging technology enables maximum power delivery across a wide range of voltage and current combinations, while versatile control interfaces simplify integration into existing test environments.

The 20000 Series expands these capabilities with three independent channels, fast response performance, integrated safety features, a built-in function generator, and preconfigured simulation routines for battery, fuel cell, and photovoltaic testing.

Why Choose EA-PSB

Fast response characteristics and integrated safety monitoring help protect sensitive devices under test while ensuring reliable operation.

  • Three isolated output channels
  • Fast dynamic response
  • Independent channel control
  • Integrated safety monitoring

Bidirectional DC Power in a Single Instrument

EA Elektro-Automatik* bidirectional DC power supplies support both source and sink operation (Quadrants I and II), making them suitable for battery systems, solar inverters, energy storage applications, and automotive powertrain testing. For full four-quadrant operation across positive and negative voltages and currents, Keithley Source Measure Units are recommended.

  • Source and sink operation
  • Bidirectional power flow
  • Battery and inverter testing capability
  • Energy storage and automotive applications

True Autoranging for Maximum Flexibility

Autoranging technology enables full rated output power across a wide range of voltage and current combinations. Unlike conventional power supplies that provide maximum power only at their rated operating point, EA* PSB systems automatically adjust voltage and current relationships to maximize power availability throughout the operating range.
  • Full power availability across a wider operating range
  • Improved utilization of a single power supply
  • Reduced need for multiple test systems
  • Greater testing flexibility

Up to 96% Energy Recovery

Regenerative operation captures absorbed energy and returns it to the facility or public AC grid. This reduces energy consumption, minimizes cooling requirements, and improves overall testing efficiency.

  • Energy recovery back to the grid
  • Reduced heat generation
  • Lower operating costs
  • Improved test efficiency

Built-In Function Generator

The integrated function generator creates standard and custom waveforms directly within the power supply. This enables simulation of battery systems, solar arrays, fuel cells, inverter efficiency testing, and automotive validation standards without external signal generation equipment.

  • Sine, Square, Triangle, Trapezoidal, and Arbitrary waveforms
  • Battery and fuel cell simulation
  • Solar inverter testing support
  • Automotive validation applications
