Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the PVS300-4 is the right choice, or to identify a suitable alternative:
- Required Output Voltage ≤ 300 V & Current ≤ 4 A: → PVS300-4 is the optimal choice
- Need higher current (up to 8 A) at same voltage: → Consider Kikusui PVS300-8
- Need higher voltage (up to 600 V): → Consider Kikusui PVS600-2 or Chroma 62150H-600S
- Need programmable/remote control: → Confirm OPT-01 (GP-IB) or OPT-02 (RS-232C) option is included
- Rack-mount deployment: → Specify PVS300-4R or request rack-mount kit separately
- Budget-sensitive replacement: → Contact Konmask.com for refurbished/tested unit availability
