GW-INSTEK PSW 80-40.5
The GW-INSTEK PSW 80-40.5 is a programmable single-output, multi-range DC power supply, making it flexible for tasks where both voltage and current need precise adjustment. It delivers up to 80 V, 40.5 A, and a maximum power of 1080 W.
In practice, this means you get a power supply that can operate in both constant voltage and constant current modes. It also has selectable priority between CV and CC, allowing you to adapt startup and load conditions to the current setup. This is an important detail in test environments and during development, where behavior under load must be predictable.
The PSW series supports series connection of up to 2 units and parallel connection of up to 3 units. This allows for extending voltage or current if the task requires more than a single unit can provide alone.
For control and integration, there are standard LAN and USB interfaces. In addition, GPIB and RS-232 are available as optional interfaces if the equipment needs to be part of an existing measurement or test system. The front panel has a 4-digit display, and both voltage and current can be programmed and measured via the interface.
There are also functions such as OVP, OCP, OTP, AC-fail protection, and power limit, so the output can be protected during operation. Furthermore, there is analog programming and monitoring, as well as output indications for CV, CC, and alarm.

Typical applications
Used in test and development environments where there is a need for a programmable DC power supply with high power, precise regulation, and control via an interface.
