DC source/sink

The I-TS-3872 is a state of the art, water cooled flex channel DC source and sink system designed for high performance testing applications. Depending on operational requirements, it can be configured for single, series, or parallel operation, with series mode supporting voltages up to 1500V.

As part of the high performance I-TS infeed test system range, it delivers highly dynamic and fully bidirectional DC power with continuous and uninterrupted switching between source and sink operation. Its advanced three level technology provides an adjustable voltage range from 10V to 1500V with a centre point configuration.

The DC channels can be operated individually or connected in parallel, offering excellent flexibility for different testing environments. With its powerful performance and adaptable design, the I-TS-3872 is well suited for applications in the automotive, hydrogen, and laboratory sectors.
