The SL Series builds on nearly 40 years of power supply innovation at Magna-Power, designed from the ground up to meet the highly reliable power dense demands of ATE system integrators through Magna-Power's signature current-fed power processing topology. Utilizing state-of-the-art semiconductors and innovative internally designed and manufactured heat sinks, the SL Series offers industry-leading 1U (1.75” height) programmable power levels with models at 1.5 kW, 2.6 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, and 10 kW while still maintaining an ambient operating temperature rating up to 50°C.
Talk with an expert
Fast, accurate power delivery with controls and options tailored to your needs
Potencia y rendimiento incomparables en 1U
Salida limpia y precisa con respuesta rápida para sistemas exigentes.
Las fuentes de la Serie SL ofrecen una respuesta transitoria rápida, programación y medición de alta precisión, resolución de 12 bits y bajo rizado de salida, todo en un formato líder en su clase de 1U con una eficiencia de hasta el 95%. Con operación en voltaje constante o corriente constante y cruce automático, se estabilizan rápidamente tras cambios de carga (recuperación de transitorios de carga en el orden de unos pocos milisegundos) y mantienen un ajuste preciso a los valores objetivo, con una precisión de programación de voltaje y corriente de hasta ±0,075% de la escala completa, ideales para aplicaciones de pruebas de precisión, envejecimiento acelerado y procesos donde tanto la dinámica como la precisión son fundamentales.
Configurado a pedido con opciones integradas
Características estándar completas, ampliadas cuando es necesario.
SL Series starts with a strong base: SCPI over RS232, isolated 37-pin user I/O, LabVIEW and IVI drivers, and Remote Interface Software included. When applications demand more, fully integrated options tailor performance, connectivity, and mechanics—without external boxes or ad-hoc wiring.
Standard SCPI computer controls, RS232, isolated 37-pin analog/digital I/O, LabVIEW & IVI drivers, RIS software.
-
High Slew Rate Output (+HS) for higher bandwidth and faster programmed rise times.
-
Connectivity options LXI TCP/IP Ethernet (+LXI) and IEEE-488 GPIB (+GPIB).
-
Ruggedized (+RUG) for MIL-STD shock & vibration
Control stepless del panel frontal con opción de panel en blanco
Control directo donde lo necesita, oculto donde no.
El panel frontal estándar del SL ofrece control rotativo y por teclas, medición digital brillante e indicadores de estado claros, para que los operadores puedan configurar puntos de ajuste, iniciar y detener la fuente, y ver el estado del sistema de un vistazo. Para OEMs y herramientas de producción, el panel frontal en blanco opcional (versión C) elimina por completo los controles locales mientras conserva el control total a través de interfaces de comunicación y el conector de E/S de usuario de 37 pines en el panel trasero, manteniendo los sistemas seguros, limpios y a prueba de operadores.
Rugged by design: safety + reliability, as you'd expect from Magna-Power.
Procesamiento de potencia confiable alimentado por corriente
Robusto por diseño: topología autoprotegida para máximo tiempo de actividad.
The SLx Series uses a high-frequency, current-fed architecture that adds a control stage beyond conventional voltage-fed designs. This topology inherently limits fault energy—avoiding fast-rising current spikes and magnetic core saturation so the supply self-protects and your load stays safe. Paired with state-of-the-art SiC power semiconductors, SLx delivers class-leading power density, efficiency, and reliability, including continuous full-power operation up to 50°C ambient.
- Current-fed architecture with an added control stage vs. voltage-fed.
- Inherent surge immunity—no current spikes or core saturation.
- Self-protecting behavior under fault conditions.
- SiC devices for high density and efficiency; full power to 50°C.
Características de seguridad e interbloqueo
Arranque suave, protección programable y desconexión mecánica de línea para una verdadera seguridad.
MagnaDC supplies start gently and watch continuously. A soft-start stage keeps inrush below steady-state draw, while built-in diagnostics monitor line, thermal, and control conditions. In standby or on a diagnostic fault, an embedded AC contactor mechanically disconnects the mains, assuring the unit only processes power when intended. Faults are shown on the front-panel status display, through 5V digital outputs, and are queryable via SCPI.
-
Programmable trips: Over voltage (OVT) and over current (OCT)/
-
Control integrity: Program-line over-voltage detection.
-
Thermal protection: Over temperature on internal heatsinks.
-
Interlock/E-stop fault monitoring as a standard diagnostic.
-
Field integration: 5V interlock input (with 5V reference) for a dry-contact, latching inhibit with control power maintained.
From lab scripts to factory PLCs, flexible programming & integration.
Integración de software simplificada
Comandos legibles, resultados rápidos—funciona con cualquier lenguaje.
Las fuentes de alimentación MagnaDC ofrecen una API clara basada en texto con SCPI nativo, un lenguaje de comandos basado en ASCII enviado a través de comunicaciones por socket. Más de 40 comandos bien documentados cubren inicio/parada, puntos de ajuste de voltaje, corriente, mediciones de alta precisión y configuración completa—para que sus scripts y sistemas pasen del concepto a la producción rápidamente.
- Conjuntos de comandos SCPI con comportamiento consistente.
- Inicio/parada y protecciones: habilitar salida, establecer límites de disparo, consultar estado.
- Lecturas de alta precisión: voltaje, corriente, potencia y retroalimentación de sensor.
- Documentación y ejemplos orientados al desarrollador.

E/S de usuario externa para control PLC o simulación PHIL
Conéctelo como un módulo de E/S, sin necesidad de aislamiento adicional.
Via the included rear 37-pin User I/O connector, MagnaDC supplies can be fully driven and monitored by external signals or a PLC. Voltage, current, OVT, and OCT set points are programmed with 0–10 V analog inputs, while each diagnostic condition has its own +5V digital status pin. Built-in +2.5V, +5V, and +10V reference rails let you use dry contacts without adding external supplies. All I/O is isolated from the output and referenced to earth ground as standard.
-
0–10 V analog programming for V, I, OVT, and OCT.
-
Per-fault digital outputs: each diagnostic has its own +5V pin.
-
Isolated user I/O referenced to earth ground—no extra isolators.
-
With High Slew Rate Output (+HS), high-bandwidth response and fast rise times support HIL/PHIL simulation applications.
Operación maestro-esclavo de alto rendimiento
Escale voltaje o corriente sin sacrificar rendimiento.
All MagnaDC supplies support master-slave operation, using gate-drive signals from the master when configured for parallel, so the whole stack behaves like a single supply—with one control loop and no noisy long analog references. The optional UID47 accessory simplifies wiring for series or parallel sets with near-equal sharing.
-
Single control loop parallel operation: Master gate-drive to slaves for consistent dynamics.
-
Plug & play with the UID47, enabling parallel or series stacks with current/voltage sharing.
-
Series up to the DC isolation rating without added hardware.
No additional ORing diodes required for parallel operation.

Model Ordering Guide
For both ordering and production, SL Series models are uniquely defined by several key characteristics, as defined by the following diagram:
SL Series Models
There are 127 different models in the SL Series spanning power levels: 1.5 kW, 2.6 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW. To determine the appropriate model:
- Select the desired Max Voltage (Vdc) from the left-most column.
- Select the desired Max Current (Adc) from the same row that contains your desired Max Voltage.
- Construct your model number according to the model ordering guide.
