The Rohde & Schwarz R&S HMP power supply family is a line of multi-channel programmable DC power supplies offered in two-, three-, and four-channel configurations across four models. Primarily designed for industrial use, these rugged instruments deliver up to 10 A of output current per channel and provide high efficiency with low residual ripple along with a comprehensive set of protection functions.
The R&S HMP supplies are tailored for use in labs and system racks, where the electronically equivalent channels can power a wide variety of devices under test. As performance-class supplies, they suit both the lab bench and ATE applications, and they are frequently installed in 19-inch racks using the R&S HZ42 or R&S HZP91 rack adapters. Because each channel is galvanically isolated and floating, the channels can be combined to drive balanced circuitries such as +12 V/-12 V supplies, avoiding ground problems in complex DUTs.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Holding our own stock means the instrument you order is on our shelves and ready to ship.
Rohde & Schwarz is an independent company headquartered in Munich, Germany, founded more than 80 years ago, and has operated under the Rohde & Schwarz name throughout its history.
The R&S HMP power supply family consists of four models in two power classes. The two-channel R&S HMP2020 and three-channel R&S HMP2030 deliver up to 188 W total output power, while the three-channel R&S HMP4030 and four-channel R&S HMP4040 offer a maximum of 384 W. All four models share the same 0 V to 32 V output voltage range on every channel, so any channel can be selected for a given application and each channel can be treated as a separate power supply.
Across the family, all channels are galvanically isolated and floating, carry overload and short-circuit protection, and can be combined in series or parallel. The models share a common feature set that includes constant voltage and constant current modes, tracking and link functions, the EasyArb arbitrary function, per-channel sense lines, and a standard dual USB/LAN interface.
Each model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing for the new configuration you select. Choose the channel count and power class that fits your application, then review that model's page for its specific specifications and availability.
The models differ chiefly in channel count, per-channel current, and total power. The R&S HMP2020 provides two channels (channel 1 at 10 A/160 W, channel 2 at 5 A/80 W); the R&S HMP2030 provides three channels rated 5 A/80 W each; and the R&S HMP4030 (three channels) and R&S HMP4040 (four channels) provide 10 A/160 W per channel. Total output power is 188 W for the HMP2020/HMP2030 and 384 W for the HMP4030/HMP4040.
Series and parallel combinations scale accordingly: in parallel operation the R&S HMP2020 and R&S HMP2030 reach 15 A, the R&S HMP4030 reaches 30 A, and the R&S HMP4040 reaches 40 A; in series operation the R&S HMP2020 reaches 64 V, the R&S HMP2030 and R&S HMP4030 reach 96 V, and the R&S HMP4040 reaches 128 V. The R&S HMP4030/HMP4040 also use a larger 240 × 128 pixel display and add a numeric keypad for value entry. See the comparison table that follows for the per-model values.
