Introduction

1.1 Overview

The PowerPac HC power supply is designed to provide constant voltage, current or

power for electrophoresis applications. The power supply operates at the value

specified for the constant parameter, with limits for the other parameters. To prevent

damage to the electrophoresis cell, the PowerPac HC provides automatic

crossover to constant current, constant voltage, or constant power, depending on

which set limit is first reached. If the set limit of the non-constant parameter is

reached, the power supply will switch, making the limiting non-constant parameter

the new constant.

Output specifications:

Voltage:

Adjustable from 5 to 250 volts (V), in 1 V increments

Current :
