Programmable Power Supplies

Preen ADC Series

Rack Mount DC Power Supply, 2-8kW per Unit

Not every DC power application needs the programmability and disturbance-simulation features of Preen's higher-end ADG platform — production line power, burn-in testing, and integration into larger systems often call for a straightforward, cost-effective DC supply where price per kilowatt matters more than advanced programmable functions. Preen's ADC series is built for exactly this segment: a classic rack-mount DC power supply optimised for cost efficiency at scale.

Power density is a genuine strength here — the 2kW and 4kW models fit in just 2U of rack space, and the 8kW model in only 4U, meaning a rack of ADC units delivers considerably more power per rack unit than bulkier alternatives, a real consideration where equipment room or production line floor space is at a premium. Output voltage spans 0-30V through 0-600V depending on model, with both constant-voltage and constant-current operating modes covering the majority of standard DC power requirements without needing programmable waveform or disturbance simulation capability.

Units parallel up to a combined 24-64kW using standard 19-inch cabinets (18U, 32U, or 42U depending on target power), letting a production or test setup scale total available power simply by adding units to an existing rack rather than replacing equipment. Remote sense compensates for voltage drop across long cable runs to the load, maintaining accurate regulation at the actual point of use rather than just at the supply's output terminals.

ADC Series
Available as a Containerized / IP54 Option
Like Preen's BPS shore power series, the ADC Series can be built into a customized outdoor container or upgraded to an IP54-rated enclosure as an optional configuration — useful for ports, construction sites, remote installations, and other high humidity, heat, dust, or corrosion-exposed environments. Standard indoor chassis remain the default; contact Finch to configure a containerized or IP54 version for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the ADC series over the ADG family?
The ADC series suits applications where a straightforward constant-voltage/constant-current DC supply covers the requirement, and cost per kilowatt is the primary consideration — production line power, burn-in testing, and general integration. The ADG family adds programmability, higher power scaling, and features like solar array simulation, appropriate where those specific capabilities are actually needed.
Why does remote sensing matter for production line or burn-in applications?
Voltage drop across cable runs between the supply and the actual test article can cause the voltage delivered at the load to differ meaningfully from the voltage set at the supply, especially over longer runs or at higher current. Remote sense compensates for this by measuring voltage directly at the load and adjusting output accordingly, maintaining accurate regulation where it actually matters.
How much power can I get from a single rack of ADC units?
Depending on the cabinet size used, ADC units can be paralleled to deliver a combined 24kW up to 64kW from a single 19-inch rack installation (18U, 32U, or 42U), letting total available power scale by adding units rather than requiring a different equipment platform.
