INDIA. – Keysight Technologies, Inc. announces the expansion of its high-power automated test equipment (ATE) portfolio, giving engineers more voltage and power options for a wider range of test applications. The portfolio combines compact power hardware, software automation, and regenerative energy recovery, including new voltage options for regenerative power supplies, electronic loads, and a new family of direct current (DC) power supplies that provides up to 12 kilowatts (kW).
Across power conversion, aerospace, and energy applications, engineers must match voltage and current requirements while managing limited rack space, test programming effort, and energy use. Keysight’s portfolio addresses these challenges with compact hardware, repeatable automated and regenerative operation for tests that absorb power.
The latest additions extend coverage from high-current, low-voltage applications to systems operating at up to 1500 volts (V). This enables engineers to configure power test systems for applications such as power-stage characterization, battery testing, charging systems, power conversion, and aerospace equipment.
Key benefits include:
- Broader application coverage: New 10 V options provide up to 1020 amperes (A) of source current for power-stage characterization, DC bias, and burn-in testing. Additional 32 V, 300 V, and 1500 V options support nominal 24 V and 28 V systems, nominal 270 VDC aerospace equipment, up to 1500 V battery modules, power converters, and charging applications.
- Increased rack density: Regenerative power supplies and electronic loads provide up to 6 kW in one rack unit (1U) or 12 kW in two rack units (2U). The new DC power supply family provides up to 12 kW in 2U, while other portfolio options provide up to 7.5 kW in 1U. This enables engineers to benefit from two to three times as many channels in the same footprint as previous systems.
- Faster, more efficient workflows: PathWave Advanced Power Control and Analysis software and PathWave Advanced Battery Test and Emulation software enable engineers to configure tests and analyze results with less custom programming.
Carol Leh, Vice President, Electronic Industrial Solutions Group Center of Excellence at Keysight, said: “Power test requirements vary significantly across applications, but engineering teams share the need to increase capacity, conserve rack space, and simplify automation. These additions give customers more flexibility to configure efficient, repeatable test systems that can scale as their requirements change.”
The expanded portfolio is built on Keysight’s Power Without Compromise solutions, which were introduced in November 2025. The portfolio also includes 5 kW and 7.5 kW power supplies introduced in the first half of 2026. The 7.5 kW offering supports ratings up to 1500 V and automatic paralleling of up to 12 units for systems delivering up to 90 kW.
