IT6000C Series – Bidirectional Programmable DC Power Supply

The IT6000C series is a bidirectional programmable DC power supply featuring third-generation SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology. It integrates both source and sink (load) functions into a single unit, enabling multi-quadrant operation.

With its advanced energy regeneration capability, the IT6000C feeds absorbed energy cleanly back into the grid. This significantly reduces overall power consumption and cooling requirements, while maintaining grid stability and power quality.

The IT6000C series provides an output voltage of up to 2250 V and supports parallel operation in a master-slave configuration with balanced current sharing. Total system power can be expanded up to 2 MW.

An integrated waveform generator enables the creation of arbitrary waveforms and supports LIST file import via the front-panel USB port. Combining high reliability, optimized efficiency, and comprehensive protection and measurement functions, the IT6000C is an ideal solution for demanding R&D, validation, and industrial testing applications.

The IT6600C Series is a new-generation graphical bidirectional programmable DC power supply designed for high-performance testing applications. Featuring a modern touchscreen interface and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), it simplifies parameter configuration and waveform editing, improving both efficiency and user experience.

Built on advanced third-generation SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology, a single 3U unit delivers up to 21 kW per channel in a dual-channel configuration. When the two independent channels are connected in series or parallel, total output power can reach 42 kW. Thanks to its wide output range, one IT6600C unit can replace 3 to 5 conventional power supplies, making it ideal for applications requiring high voltage or high current.

More than just a power supply, the IT6600C also functions as a high-performance electronic load. It can both source DC power and operate as a regenerative DC electronic load, absorbing energy and feeding clean power back into the grid for energy recycling.

The IT6600C Series delivers a new level of performance for complex high-power testing in industries such as automotive, energy storage, industrial systems, and renewable energy, providing reliable support for R&D, validation, and production environments.
