The R&S NGP800 is a DC power supply series from Rohde & Schwarz comprising five models rated at either 400 W or 800 W. Built around two or four 200 W outputs, each supplying up to 64 V or up to 20 A, the series is designed to deliver maximum power across a variety of operating points. The electrically equivalent, galvanically isolated outputs can be wired in series or parallel to reach up to 250 V or 80 A.

The series targets laboratory and automated test equipment (ATE) applications, where speed, accuracy and advanced programming features factor into test performance. A single instrument can power up to four devices under test independently, and a synchronous output button switches all channels on or off together, which is important for circuitry that can be damaged if one voltage rail is present without the other. Output delay sequencing further supports microcontrollers that require specific power-up sequences across multiple supply voltages.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, giving buyers a single accountable source for this power supply series.

Brand Heritage

Compare Other Models in This Series

The R&S NGP800 series is a single power supply family of five models that share a common architecture but differ in channel count and per-channel voltage and current ratings. Two-channel models deliver 400 W total, while four-channel models deliver 800 W; every output is rated at 200 W maximum and uses the same FlexPower approach to voltage and current within that envelope.

Because the outputs are galvanically isolated and floating, models can be operated independently or combined in series and parallel, with the family reaching up to 250 V or 80 A depending on configuration. All five share the same 5-inch touch display, protection suite, QuickArb and EasyRamp functions, data logging, and standard USB and LAN connectivity.

Each model in the R&S NGP800 series is listed below on its own dedicated product page with new-condition pricing. Select the model that matches your required channel count and voltage/current ratings, and the linked page will reflect that new configuration and its current availability.

The R&S NGP804 is the four-channel 800 W model configured as 4 x 32 V/20 A. It is the configuration the series uses to demonstrate parallel operation, reaching up to 80 A when its outputs are combined in parallel, making it the highest-current member of the family.

The models differ along three axes captured in the comparison table: number of output channels (two versus four), the per-channel voltage and current tier (32 V/20 A versus 64 V/10 A), and the maximum voltage or current reachable in series and parallel operation. The NGP802 and NGP822 are two-channel 400 W units, while the NGP804, NGP824 and NGP814 are four-channel 800 W units.

Within the four-channel group, the NGP804 provides four 32 V/20 A outputs and reaches 80 A in parallel, the NGP824 provides four 64 V/10 A outputs and reaches 250 V in series, and the NGP814 mixes two 32 V/20 A and two 64 V/10 A channels. Refer to the comparison table for the exact per-model voltage, current, series and parallel figures.

Product Core & Specifications

Important: Maximum voltage to ground: 250 V DC.

Important: The IEEE-488 (GPIB) and wireless LAN interfaces are optional and not included as standard; USB and LAN (Ethernet) are the standard remote-control interfaces. The optional interfaces can be added at a later date.

Important: User adjustment (in-house calibration) requires a standard 6½ digit DMM, a 10 mΩ shunt resistor and approximately one minute per channel.

Important: The QuickArb function uses dwell times down to 1 ms; a sequence contains a maximum of 1024 points, and up to eight subgroup files can be loaded into one sequence.

Recommended pairing: install with the R&S ZZA-GE23 19-inch rack adapter (2 HU) for rack-based test systems.
