DESCRIPTION

The 1746 is a high-quality general-purpose DC power supply manufactured by BK Precision, designed to deliver regulated DC voltage and current output for a wide range of electrical and electronics applications. It features continuously variable output from 0 to 16 volts DC with coarse and fine controls, and provides 0 to 10 amps of output current rated for continuous duty. The power supply incorporates a pre-regulator circuit that reduces internal power dissipation at low output voltages, exhibits excellent regulation and low ripple characteristics, and includes two large panel-mounted meters for continuous monitoring of output voltage and current. Two selectable current ranges (High: 0-10A and Low: 0-2A) provide excellent current settability and meter resolution, with automatic crossover between constant voltage and constant current modes. The output is fully isolated from chassis and earth ground, allowing flexible connection configurations including series operation for 0-32V output or parallel operation for increased current capacity. The 1746 is well-suited for electronics servicing, manufacturing and testing, engineering laboratories, educational institutions, and hobbyist applications.
