The Chroma 62000E Series of programmable DC power supplies offers single-channel models with power ratings of 1.7kW, 3.4kW, and 5kW, and three-channel models rated at 1.7kW, all housed in a compact 1U chassis featuring industry-leading power density. The 54 different models include both fixed-range and auto-range options, with current ratings up to 150A and voltage ratings up to 1200V.
The 62000E series supports constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes, allowing users to switch output priority based on test requirements. These power supplies feature high output precision for both settings and measurements, fast dynamic response, and low output noise, making them ideal for diverse testing applications in laboratories, production lines, and integration into automated test equipment (ATE).
This series is ideal for both single-channel and multi-channel testing applications, such as D2D power system ATE setups, automotive component systems, satellite power system reliability, long-term durability of active and passive components, integrated power supplies for industrial and medical systems, supply and aging of semiconductor power components, LED and laser diodes, and solar panel production and aging. Compared to traditional power supplies, the 62000E series saves space, improves energy efficiency, and simplifies testing at a competitive price.
The 62000E series supports creation of custom output waveforms with up to 100 programmable sequences via List Mode, with dwell times adjustable between 10ms and 65,535 seconds. This enables users to meet a wide range of testing needs, including voltage drop testing of DC-DC converters and inverters, component lifecycle testing, and avionics testing.
This series supports 1-phase/3-phase 200-240Vac and 3-phase 380-400Vac input. With active PFC and 92% efficiency, it reduces electricity costs and minimizes the required power system capacity, making it compatible with electrical systems worldwide. Various control interfaces are available, including USB, LAN, CAN FD, GPIB, and analog APG, allowing for flexible integration into any test system.

High Power Density 1.7kW x 3CH in 1U
Employing a high-power-density design, the 62000E series can deliver 1.7kW output through each of its 3 channels within a compact 1U chassis. Each channel is isolated, allowing for independent voltage and current control and measurement. This design reduces rack space requirements and simplifies wiring. For instance, take a system integrator's equipment specifications requiring 9 channels of DC power. Compared to other solutions demanding 9 single-channel power supplies stacked at a height of 9U, the 62000E series gets the job done with 3 units (using three-channel models) occupying only 3U of rack space.
| Channel | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 285V | 380V | 400V | 450V | 450V | 500V | 500V | 550V | 600V |
| Current | 5.6A | 3.8A | 3A | 3A | 3.6A | 2.8A | 2.8A | 2.8A | 2.8A |
| Power | 1,600W | 1,444W | 1,200W | 1,350W | 1,620W | 1,400W | 1,400W | 1,540W | 1,680W |
*Configuration case: Using 3 units of 3-channel models in a 9-channel output configuration.
Auto-Range and Fixed-Range Output
The 62000E series offers two types of power supplies: auto-range output and fixed-range output, allowing users to select based on application, specifications, and budget. For instance, the 62050E-600P is designed with an auto-range output, offering 5kW/600V/22.5A. It supports flexible operation across various combinations (as illustrated). At a low output voltage of 223V, it can provide a high current of 22.5A, while at a high voltage of 600V, it delivers a lower current of 8.4A. This flexibility allows these wide-range DC power supplies to cover both low-voltage/high-current and high-voltage/low-current requirements, making them especially suitable for test & measurement applications using automated test equipment (ATE). This eliminates the need for multiple DC power supplies, saving both cost and space.
Alternatively, the 62050E-600 model is an economical fixed-range power supply with an output of 5kW/600V/10A DC. This fixed-range design is ideal for production equipment where DUTs with fixed specifications are tested, providing a cost-effective solution to equipment manufacturers in need of an integrated power supply.
Up to 20kW Master/Slave Parallel Operation
When selecting equipment, users must typically consider factors such as compact size, lightweight design, high utilization, flexible (dis)assembly, and downtime during maintenance impacting R&D and production. Designed with all these considerations in mind, the 62000E series is equipped with a master/slave control mode, allowing up to four units to be paralleled for a combined output of 20kW. This makes parallel operation quick, easy, and convenient for use in R&D labs, testing facilities, and production lines. In this mode, the master unit downloads the settings to the slave units. Programming is simple, and the user interface is the same as for single-unit operation. The parallel system employs a digital current-sharing design that ensures high stability and noise immunity.
* Only available for single-channel output models.
* Requires A620042 interface.
Auto Sequence Programming
Chroma 62000E Series DC Power Supplies feature programmable sequences through the List and Step modes with adjustable time settings. With 100 programmable steps and a dwell time range of 10ms to 65,535s, the supplies provide precise voltage and current control, along with I/O signal output for automated testing applications. Applications include voltage drop tests for DC-DC converters and inverters, automated battery charging, lifecycle testing of components, and avionics testing.

Remote Web Control Interface
The 62000E Series comes with a standard LAN interface that complies with the Ethernet/LXI standard and features a remote web control interface. Users can easily monitor the instrument using smartphones, tablets, or computers through a browser without the need for additional software installation. It supports guest/administrator accounts for user function and permission management and allows simultaneous monitoring of multiple devices. This is highly convenient for long-duration life cycle testing, enabling real-time monitoring of DC power supply conditions anytime, anywhere. (Patent No.: CN111796982A)
*Foldback Function: Allows users to set the output state (continue or off) when the output mode is switched (CV to CC or CC to CV), and to set a delay time to protect the DUT.
*Alarm Function: When an abnormality occurs, the control panel will issue a warning message, and the remote control interface will sound an audible alarm.
*SCPI Command Programming: Users can perform program control (looping, pausing, delay, etc.) and save/load control programs to a computer.
*Security: Initially, the Web software provides monitoring functions only. For security purposes, users must enter a password to enable control privileges.
*QR Code: The Web control interface can be accessed via QR code login for quick connection.

Built-in VNC Server for Remote Control
The 62000E series DC power supply is equipped with a VNC server. Users can readily operate and monitor remote instruments through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets via VNC Viewer, which also offers password-protected management of user functions and permissions.
* VNC Viewer is A third party application.
* Requires a wireless LAN router to connect smartphones and tablets.
Scenario 1
When the 62000E Series DC power supply is integrated into an ATE system, users can perform sequence control through the GPIB interface. This eliminates the need to visit the laboratory for checking the readings and status on the device panel. The VNC function allows remote reading of the power supply output and operating status easily through the LAN interface.
Scenario 2
When the power supply is used for long-term burn-in and aging tests on the DUT, the engineer can quickly connect to the power supply at any time. For example, view the test status of the device in the laboratory remotely from the office and greatly save on inspection time and effort.
Scenario 3
When the power supply is placed on a test bench, desk, or rack (depending on the space available), having to manually operate the power supply and on-line adjust or monitor the output would be inconvenient for the engineer. Through the VNC function, a mobile device can act as a remote control keypad which greatly benefits such tasks. To keep safe, the remote control authority is protected with a password.
