® Welcome to R&S NGP800 R&S NGP800 Welcome to R&S NGP800 The two or four-channel power supply series are based on a primary switched- mode regulator with power factor correction. This concept allows the instrument to achieve highest accuracy and lowest residual ripple. The R&S NGP800 power supply series feature galvanically isolated, overload and short-circuit proof outputs.
