EA 10000 Series

How to select an EA-10000 Series model

The EA-10000 Series has over 180 different models to suit your needs. If you would like help deciding, request a sales contact and our engineers will reach out to learn about your use case and help you decide.

Start by thinking about which family fits your application: a basic power supply, an intelligent power supply, a bidirectional power supply, or an electronic load. Read more below to learn the differences.

Once you know which family will work best for you, decide on the amount of power you need. This decision impacts which form factors will meet your needs: 2U, 3U, 4U, or 6U of rack height.

Finally think about the specific voltage and current levels you need. Refer to the table at the bottom of this page and select the series that closest matches your needs. Our engineers will be in touch to discuss options with you.

PSB and ELR Models

The Bidirectional Power Supply models (PSB) include all the features of the PSI models, and add the capability to sink (absorb) power and return that power to the local grid. Sourcing and sinking power from the same box saves you valuable space, and the PSB models’ >96% efficiency in returning energy to the grid saves money in electrical and cooling costs. The PSB models are the most flexible solution in the EA-10000 Series.

When sourcing isn’t required and you only need to sink power, the regenerative electronic load models (ELR) are the clear choice. The ELR models capture up to 96% of the current they sink and feed that power back into the local grid, reducing heat, noise, and HVAC costs to save operational expenses. The ELR models retain the built-in waveform generator and special test procedure modes of the PSI and PSB models as well.
