I have a Kikusui PAR80A that I've become attached to. 0-80Vdc @1A, 0-8Vdc @10A with 1mA resolution in a small but heavy box. Single output, but I have other PSs if I need more. What would one use 5Vdc @ 100A supplies for these days? I found 2 HP units in the garage last weekend. -Dave -

Hi Bert: Thanks for your description of the 6632A. I didn't realize they could sink current. There are three 100W supplies in this family: 6632A 20V 5A 6633A 50V 2A 6634A 100V 1A I have the 50V model on the way, much better for 28 volt equipment. The load capacity is not as high as the Ameri

Hello Everyone. I also own an HP 6632A DC supply. This is a great beast. Its sink capability is just great to test other power supplies or discharge NiCads. I have a more powerful DC electronic load, but I almost never use it. Its only drawback is its size - rackmount - which makes it a bit lar
