Keithley 2231A-30-3 195W Triple Channel DC Power Supply (Pre-Owned)

Key Features At A Glance

  • Three fully independent, isolated outputs — two channels at 0–30V/3A and one channel at 0–5V/3A
  • 195W total output power for energizing analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits from a single instrument
  • Voltage setting accuracy of 0.06% + 20mV and current setting accuracy of 0.2% + 10mA
  • Linear-based design delivers low output noise of ≤1mVrms / ≤5mVp-p (20Hz–20MHz)
  • Series and parallel combination modes double output to 60V or 6A using the two 30V channels
  • 30 setup memory locations plus per-channel output timers (0.1s to 99999.9s) for repeatable testing
  • Output-to-output and output-to-chassis isolation up to 240V (DC + peak AC) for floating and grounded circuits
  • Optional 2231A-001 USB Adapter enables PC control and data upload for automated benchwork

Datasheets

The Keithley 2231A-30-3 is a 195W triple channel DC power supply built around a linear regulation design. It provides two independently programmable 0–30V/3A outputs and a third 0–5V/3A output in a single benchtop enclosure, with all three channels electrically isolated from each other and from chassis ground.

Keithley positions this supply for engineering and science student labs, service work, and electronic design. The three independent outputs let one instrument power the analog and digital sections of a printed circuit board simultaneously, support circuits referenced to different grounds (including transformer-isolated and optically isolated designs), and — by tying high and low terminals of two channels to a common reference point — supply bipolar circuits with positive and negative rails that can be varied together using the tracking function.

Brand Heritage

Keithley Instruments was founded in 1946 in Cleveland, Ohio. The company was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2010, and in 2016 Danaher's test and measurement businesses — including Keithley and Tektronix — were spun off as Fortive Corporation. Keithley continues to operate as a Tektronix Company under Fortive, and the 2231A-30-3 datasheet carries both the Keithley and Tektronix Company markings.
