The Chroma 62180D-1200 Bidirectional DC Power Supply is an 18kW, 1200V, 40A programmable DC source and sink designed to support the rigorous demands of electric vehicle, energy storage, and renewable energy industries. Also known as Chroma 62180D, 62180D-1200, or Chroma 62180D 1200V power supply, this model offers both sourcing and regenerative sinking capabilities in a single high-efficiency unit.
Its bidirectional architecture enables energy to flow in both directions—allowing it to charge and discharge batteries or operate in back-to-back converter tests without switching external hardware. The regenerative function efficiently returns energy back to the grid, reducing power waste and thermal output—making it ideal for continuous and long-duration testing applications.
Engineers can program the 62180D-1200 for constant voltage, current, power, or resistance, with extremely fast response times and high resolution. Applications range from testing DC-DC converters, onboard chargers (OBC), battery management systems (BMS), and powertrain components in electric vehicles to simulating PV solar output or fuel cell stacks.
With remote control support via multiple interfaces and compatibility with SCPI and LabView, the 62180D-1200 integrates smoothly into R&D labs and automated test systems. Whether you're searching by Chroma 62180D, 62180D 1200V 18kW, or bidirectional DC power system, this model meets the high-performance needs of modern test environments.
