The Sorensen DLM 3kW and 4kW Series programmable DC power supplies are designed to provide highly stable, continuously variable DC output voltage and current for a broad range of applications in a compact 2U (3½” high) chassis.

The 3 kW and 4 kW 2U rackmount DC power supply models have output voltages from 0-5 VDC to 0-600 VDC and a current range from 0-5A to 0-450A. The output rms noise is as low as 10 mV. The output will recover to 1% of its steady-state voltage within 1ms for a step load change of 100% to 70% or 70% to 100%. The front panel layout makes the series extremely easy to use. Control switches include power on, enable/ standby, and local/ remote.

Displays and indicators show programmed set points and operational control status. The programmed voltage, current, and overvoltage set points are displayed with two large 3½ digit LED displays. Operational Status LEDs indicate power on, shutdown, over temperature, overvoltage, constant current, and voltage mode status. Control Status LEDs indicate front panel lockout, remote control, and standby status. IEEE- 488.2 control LEDs indicate the error, service request, and remote address status.

The 3 kW DC Power Supply Models will accept 200*/230 VAC single phase and 200*/208 VAC three phase input power.

The 4 kW DC Supply Models will accept 200*/208 VAC, three-phase, or optional 400 or 480 VAC three-phase input power.

*Operating temperature below 40°C

3 kW and 4 kW models, 2U (3½ inches) high, 19 inches wide; no top or bottom clearance spacing required.


Wide Range of
DC Output Voltages
3 kW and 4 kW outputs 0-5V, 8V, 16V, 32V, 40V, 60V, 80V, 150V, 300V and 600V


Preview Pushbutton

Overvoltage protection (OVP), voltage and current preview buttons allow viewing these set points at any time with or without the output enabled.

M13 Locking shafts (front panel potentiometers)
M51A Isolated analog programming (May not be combined with M9C or M85). This isolation allows users to control power supplies not connected to a common ground. In addition, in systems with high ambient noise or with large ground loop currents the control ground can be isolated from the power ground eliminating problems.
M85 12-bit slave interface (May not be combined with M9E or M51A)
