Family of Affordable
Basic System DC
Power Supplies
The Agilent Technologies N8700 series
system DC power supplies give you
just the right performance — at just
the right price — in a compact (2 U)
package. This family of affordable
3300 W and 5000 W single-output
programmable DC power supplies
consists of 21 models for simple
DC power applications.
They provide stable output power,
built-in voltage and current measure-
ment, and output voltage and current
from 8 V to 600 V and 5.5 A to 400 A.
These economical supplies offer many
system-ready features like multiple
standard I/O interfaces to simplify
and accelerate test-system develop-
ment for R&D, design validation,
and manufacturing engineers in the
aerospace/defense, automotive,
component and communications
industries.
Small, high-density package
saves you rack space
The N8700 provides up to 5200 W in
a small space-saving 2 U-high, 19-
inch-wide package. Its air vents are
in the front and rear (not on the top
or bottom), so you can stack other
instruments directly above or below it
to save valuable rack space.

®
Easy front-panel operation
You can quickly and easily operate
the power supply with its rotary
knobs and buttons. Using the front-
panel controls, you can make coarse
or fine adjustments of output voltage
and current, protection settings, and
set power-on states (last setting
memory or factory default setting).
The output voltage and current are
displayed simultaneously, and LED
indicators show power supply status
and operating modes. You can lock
the front panel controls to protect
against accidental power-supply
parameter changes.
Extensive device protection
To safeguard your device from
damage, the N8700 Series power
supplies provide over-temperature,
over-current and over-voltage protec-
tion (OVP) to shut down the power
supply output when a fault condition
occurs. They also offer an under-
voltage limit (UVL) that prevents
adjustment of the output voltage
below a certain limit. The combina-
tion of UVL and OVP capabilities
lets you create a protection window
for sensitive load circuitry.
Simplify system connections
The N8700 Series power supplies
comes standard with GPIB,
Ethernet/LAN, and USB 2.0
interfaces giving you the flexibility
to use your I/O interface of choice
today and safeguard your test setup
for the future. The N8700 is fully
compliant with the LXI Class C
specification.

in a system and on the bench
Figure 2. The N8700's standard LAN (LXI C), USB 2.0 and GPIB interfaces enable simple
system connections
Remote access and control
The built-in Web server provides
remote access and control of the
instrument via a standard browser
such as Microsoft® Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox®. This
control goes above and beyond the
LXI specification, giving user's the
ability to monitor and control the
instrument from anywhere. Using
the Web browser, you can set up,
monitor and operate the N8700
remotely.
Easy system integration
and confi guration
To simplify system development,
the N8700 comes standard with
IVI-COM drivers. The N8700
supports the easy-to-use SCPI
(Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments).
Flexible confi guration:
connect multiple units in
parallel or series
Should you need greater output
power, the N8700 series power
supplies give you the flexibility to
connect in parallel up to four identi-
cal units (same model number) for
greater output current or connect
two identical units (same model
number) in series for greater output
voltage (see output terminal isola-
tion information).
Analog programming
and monitoring
The output voltage and current can
be programmed from zero to full
scale by either an analog voltage
0 to 5 V or 0 to 10 V or by resistance
of 0 to 5 kΩ or 0 to 10 kΩ.
Flexible AC input
voltage options
The N8700 models offer flexible AC
input voltage options. Every N8700
model can be purchased with either
a 208 V 3-phase or 400 V 3-phase
voltage input option. The 3.3 kW
models have the additional option
of a 230 V single-phase AC input
voltage. Choose the one that best
fits your operating environment. They
also provide power factor correction.
Please choose carefully the AC input
voltage option for your N8700 power
supply. The AC input voltage cannot
be changed without returning the
unit to Agilent and placing a new order.
Rack mounting
The rack mount ears and handles
are provided standard with every
unit. In addition, the N5740A rack
mount slide kit makes it easy to
integrate an N8700 into a test rack by
providing all the necessary hardware
to rack mount an N8700 series power
supply in only 2 U of rack space. The
N5740A rack mount slide kit is the
same kit used with the N5700 series.
