The CORTEX DC Series (formerly PRD Series) is a bidirectional programmable DC power supply that combines a precision DC source and a regenerative electronic load in a compact 3U, 19-inch chassis. It switches automatically between sourcing and sinking, returning absorbed energy to the grid, which makes it suited to battery, EV powertrain, PV inverter, PCS and DC-DC converter testing.
