# Chroma 62180D-600 Programmable Bidirectional DC Power Supply 600V/120A/18kW (Pre-Owned) # Chroma 62180D-600 Programmable Bidirectional DC Power Supply 600V/120A/18kW (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Voltage ratings from 0–100V up to 0–1800V across the series, with current ratings up to ±540A - Power ratings of 6kW, 12kW, and 18kW per unit, with 18kW in a 3U chassis form factor - Two-quadrant operation combining DC source and regenerative DC load in one instrument - High-speed transient response under 1.5ms (-90% to +90%) for fast cross-quadrant conversion - Master/slave parallel and series operation scalable to 180kW across up to ten units - Pre-compliant test capability for LV123 and LV148 automotive electrical standards - Standard USB, LAN/LXI, and APG interfaces with optional CAN and GPIB for automated test systems - Universal 3-phase 200–480Vac input with active PFC >0.98 and regenerative energy feedback to grid The Chroma 62000D Series is a programmable bidirectional DC power supply that combines DC source and regenerative DC load functions in a single two-quadrant instrument. The series spans eight models with voltage ratings from 0–100V to 0–1800V, current ratings up to ±540A, and power ratings of 6kW, 12kW, and 18kW per unit, with industry-leading power density of 18kW in a 3U rack. The instrument allows energy absorbed from the device under test to be fed back to the grid with conversion efficiency up to 93%, eliminating the heat dissipation and footprint of a separate electronic load. The 62000D Series is designed for testing renewable energy power systems including PV/storage hybrid inverters and power conversion systems (PCS) for charge/discharge cycling, and for battery simulation in microgrid applications. It also addresses power components used in electric vehicles such as bidirectional on-board chargers (BOBC), bidirectional DC converters, and DC-AC motor drivers. Specific applications cited on the datasheet include charge/discharge and life cycle testing of BOBC and DC-DC conversion stages, motor driver testing, pre-compliance testing to LV123 and LV148 standards on electric vehicle components, and battery simulation source duty for microgrid applications. ValueTronics International stocks and ships the Chroma 62000D Series from our 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every {{CONDITION}} unit passes through our in-house inspection and functional verification process before shipment, rather than being drop-shipped from a third-party warehouse. For programmable bidirectional supplies of this complexity — with two-quadrant operation, master/slave parallel capability, and multiple digital interfaces — that verification step matters: it confirms the unit operates as the datasheet describes before it reaches your bench. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The Chroma 62000D Series comprises eight models in three power tiers — 6kW, 12kW, and 18kW per chassis — across four voltage classes (100V, 600V, 1200V, and 1800V). All models share the same two-quadrant bidirectional architecture, the same 3U chassis dimensions, the same touch-screen control interface, and the same standard USB, LAN/LXI, and APG remote interfaces, with optional CAN and GPIB on a shared slot. What changes across the family is the voltage and current envelope: lower-voltage models trade voltage range for current capability (up to ±540A on the 62180D-100), while higher-voltage models extend coverage to 1800V at ±40A for high-voltage PCS and battery simulation applications. The four-times auto-ranging output region applies across the series, giving each model meaningful coverage of low-voltage/high-current and high-voltage/low-current operating points within its envelope. Master/slave parallel and series operation is supported across all models, scaling configurations up to 180kW. Selecting the right model is primarily a question of matching the voltage class and current requirement to the device under test — the architectural feature set is consistent across the family. Each pre-owned model below is listed on its own product page with condition-matched pricing and the warranty terms applicable to that condition.

The primary differentiators across the 62000D Series are voltage class and per-unit power. The 100V models (62060D-100, 62120D-100, 62180D-100) deliver the highest current ratings — up to ±540A on the 18kW unit — and are positioned for low-voltage, high-current device under test work. The 600V models (62060D-600, 62120D-600, 62180D-600) cover the most common automotive and industrial DC bus voltages with current up to ±120A at 18kW. The 62180D-1200 extends to 1200V at ±40A and the 62180D-1800 to 1800V at ±40A — both at 18kW — for high-voltage PCS, energy storage system, and 1500V-class battery simulation applications. Programming and measurement resolution is consistent across the series in percentage terms, though the 1200V and 1800V models show slightly different drift and temperature coefficient specifications on the voltage parameter (0.06% of Vmax versus 0.04% on lower-voltage models for some line items). Output noise and ripple scales with voltage class: the 100V models specify 150mV peak-to-peak at 20MHz, the 600V models 420mV, and the 1200V/1800V models 1260mV. Review the comparison table below for the specific voltage, current, power, noise, and slew rate envelope of each model alongside your application requirement.

An 18kW model delivers 12kW at the low end of the input range.**Important:** Output power derates when AC input is in the low-voltage range: at 200Vac-340Vac input, output power derates to 67% of nameplate (e.g., 18kW units derate to 12kW). Full 100% output power is available only at 341Vac-480Vac input.**Important:** Series and parallel operation is implemented via master/slave control over CAN, with up to 10 units total (Series: 2 units / Parallel: 10 units).**Important:** USB HOST port and SMART Interface on the rear panel are not yet supported per the datasheet's panel description.**Important:** GPIB and CAN interfaces share a single rear-panel slot — choose one. USB and LAN (LXI) are standard; GPIB and CAN are optional. ## About this used unit - Warranty included - Functional verification included - Standard Calibration Upgrade Options: No Calibration Required, NIST Traceable, Z540.1 or ISO 17025 with Data, Z540.3 Guardbanding with Data. - Note that unnecessary accessories may not be included (contact Test Architect to confirm). **Please review the Manufacturer's Data Sheet to verify published specifications.
