Specifications

The Agilent Technologies N8700
series system DC power supplies
give you just the right performance —
at just the right price — in a compact
(2 U) package. This family of affordable
3300 W and 5000 W single- output
programmable DC power supplies
consists of 21 models for simple
DC power applications.
They provide stable output power,
built-in voltage and current mea-
surement, and output voltage and
current from 8 V to 600 V and
5.5 A to 400 A.
Small, high-density package
The N8700 provides up to 5200 W
in a small space-saving 2U high,
19-inch wide package. Its air vents
are in the front and rear (not on
the top or bottom), so you can stack
other instruments directly above or
below it to save valuable rack space.
Flexible AC input voltage options
The N8700 models offer flexible
AC input voltage options. Every
N8700 model can be purchased
with either a 208 V 3-phase or
400 V 3-phase voltage input
option. The 3.3 kW models have
the additional option of a 230 V
single-phase AC input voltage.
Choose the one that best fits your
operating environment. They also
provide power factor correction.

Notes:
1
Minimum voltage is guaranteed to maximum 0.2% of rated output voltage.
2
Minimum current is guaranteed to maximum 0.4% of rated output current.
3
From no-load to full-load, constant input voltage. Maximum drop in remote sense.
4
For load voltage change equal to the unit voltage rating, constant input voltage
5
Single-phase and 3-Phase 208 V models: 170~265 VAC, constant load.
3-Phase 400 V models: 342~460 VAC, constant load.
6
The constant current programming readback and monitoring accuracy does not include the
warm-up and load regulation thermal drift.
7
Time for output voltage to recover within 0.5% of its rated output for a load change
10 - 90% of rated output current, local sense.
