The Rigol DP821A is a high-performance programmable laboratory power supply featuring two outputs (60V/1A and 8V/10A) and a maximum power output of 140W. With precision voltage and current control, this power supply also includes NABL Calibration Certificate and comes with a 3-year warranty. It offers easy operation with its 8.9 cm (3.5") color LCD display and a variety of communication interfaces for integration into automated test setups..
What it is
Programmable DC power supply for precise lab and industrial tests.
Fits benches in R&D, QA, and production.
Outputs
Two channels: 60 V at 1 A, and 8 V at 10 A.
Power supplies, chargers, and sensitive electronics all fit.
Display and curves
Color TFT shows voltage, current, and power clearly.
Real-time curves reveal spikes, sags, and drift.
Automation
Program steps once, then run on a timer.
Store up to 100 settings for repeatable sequences.
Analysis
Get quick stats: average, variance, and deviation for V, I, and W.
Spot instability early and tune limits fast.
Precision and safety
Stable readings for tight tolerances.
Built-in protections guard the supply and your device.
Control and I/O
Use SCPI from a PC or ATE.
Connect by USB and LAN; RS-232 and GPIB available.
Dual Output Channels
Pick a pair: 60 V at 1 A, or 8 V at 10 A.
Match channel to job: power electronics, battery charging, R&D benches.
Simple, Readable Display
View essentials fast on a 3.5" color TFT: voltage, current, power.
Track changes live: signal curves show spikes and dips.
Programmable Timer & Sequencing
Store once, repeat often: save up to 100 settings.
Run steps on a timer with variable intervals.
Cut manual tweaks and speed complex tests.
High-Precision Measurements
Resolve tiny shifts: 1 mV voltage, 1 mA current.
Test sensitive circuits with confidence.
Safety & Protection
Stay covered: OCP, overvoltage, overtemperature shutdown.
Protect both the supply and your device under test.
Control & Connectivity
Integrate easily: USB and LAN built in; RS-232 and GPIB optional.
Script and log with SCPI; work smoothly with LabVIEW.
