Hi. Maybe this is not the right forum but I was hoping for some directions.
I'm looking for an open-frame power regulator which can regulate 0-120V (AC or DC) through a computer (USB, Serial).
I need it to deliver up to 5 amps. Have some of you come across an unit like that?
Optimistic regards
Morgan

 

Explain "through a computer (USB,Serial)" more ?
Not sure what you are asking..
Do you just want a 120VAC to 5VDC @5A open frame power supply?

 

Hi Mcgyvr. Thanks for your reply, and sorry for not being clear.
I want to be able to control the voltage through my pc. So if I want the output to be 50V, I tell the device to putput 50V. Do you see what I mean? Sorry for my bad English.

 

Ok so you need a 0-120V 600W programmable power supply.
Why open frame?
Got a budget?
Space considerations?

Getting a rack/bench mount enclosed programmable power supply is simple .. open frame not so much and very uncommon.

Hi. Brilliant. Thank you very much. So that's what it's called

Regarding open frame. I have space considerations in my lab so I was hoping to fit the device into at 19 inch rack I already have.
I will look through the options and see what I can get.

Again, thank you very much and have a nice day
Best regards

Well there you go.. Many are designed for 19" frames already..

Just a FYI..
"Open frame" in the power supply world would typically get you something like this..

What you want is commonly called "rack mount" not open frame..
