A test automation solution rack from Tektronix leverages the Elektro-Automatik family of high-power electronic DC power supplies and loads ranging from hundreds of watts up to 3.8 MW. These include bidirectional regenerative power supplies, which enable engineers to scale up in voltage to 2,000 V or current up to 64,000 A.

By adding EA to the Tektronix portfolio, the company can provide expanded solutions, combining its oscilloscopes and isolated probes with EA's high-efficiency power supplies and electronic loads, along with Keithley's source meters and instrumentation. In this video, we see a Tektronix power test solution using EA power supplies.
