Model BOP 50-2M (top), Model BOP 100-4M (bottom)

Kepco's bipolar BOP power supplies are available in 100W, 200W and 400W sizes. For applications requiring higher power, see Kepco's 1KW High Power BOP. For applications requiring higher voltage, Kepco's Series BOP-HV are available in 500V and 1000V models.

BOP are high speed power operational amplifiers that can be used to provide dynamically agile voltage for test and simulation. They are not general purpose power supplies. By the nature of the bipolar high speed design, they do not have any energy-storage noise discriminating output capacitors.

Resistive Loads. To realize the full high speed potential of BOP, the load characteristics should be mainly resistive.

Inductive Loads. For high inductive loads, up to 1 Henry, Kepco has created a family of BOP products that have been factory-optimized to address these demanding requirements.

Capacitive Loads. If the load is capacitive, (>0.1 microfarad), the BOP must be slowed to avoid oscillation. This is accomplished in voltage mode by increasing the value of the feedback capacitance.

Operational Amplifier. BOP, while fully rated power supplies, are also high-powered operational amplifiers with full 4-quadrant, bipolar operation. Their output is capable of both sustained d-c and the replication of arbitrary a-c waveforms.

In Kepco¹s BOP, the voltage and current outputs can be controlled smoothly and linearly through the entire rated plus and minus ranges, passing smoothly through zero with no polarity switching.

Remote Digital Control. BOP accept BIT plug-in cards for remote digital control; cards may be factory-installed. BIT 4886 provides 16-bit IEEE 488.2 talk-listen control with SCPI support.

BOP are CE Marked per the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), EN61010-1 in accordance with the Conditions of Conformance.
