Overview
About PFR-100 Series
The GW Instek PFR-100 Series is a fanless multi-range DC power supply delivering 100W with natural convection cooling, eliminating fan noise entirely for use in acoustically sensitive test environments such as audio equipment development, anechoic chambers, and quiet cleanroom facilities. Constant power output across fivefold multi-range voltage and current operation maximizes the usable operating area from a single 100W instrument.
Model Comparison
| Model | Power | Voltage | Current | Target Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PFR-100L | 100W | 0 - 50V | 0 - 10A | Low-voltage, high-current |
| PFR-100M | 100W | 0 - 250V | 0 - 2A | Higher-voltage, lower-current |

CV/CC priority mode allows engineers to select whether constant voltage or constant current takes precedence during load transients, which is particularly useful for battery charging applications and LED driver testing. Adjustable slew rate for both voltage and current provides controlled output transitions, preventing inrush damage to sensitive DUTs. Preset memory and output on/off delay functions streamline repetitive test workflows.
A built-in web server enables browser-based monitoring and control from any networked device, while external analog control and monitor functions support integration with custom test fixtures. Front and rear panel output terminals offer flexible connection options for bench and rack-mounted configurations.
GSAS Micro Systems provides the PFR-100 Series across India with application engineering support, calibration services, and prompt delivery.

GW Instek Insights
Battery Simulator vs Battery Emulator: Hardware for BMS and Pack Testing
The bench instrument whose terminals behave like a battery pack, why a plain DC supply leaves BMS code paths unexercised, and the capability list to specify against. Worked through the GW Instek RBS Series battery simulation function.
BESS Test Benches: Rack-Level Charge and Discharge Qualification
The bench that qualifies a storage rack: which voltage classes rack buses land in, the current envelope at top of charge, parallel growth in the class you buy first, and cycling that runs unattended for weeks.
Motor Drive Test Benches: DC Bus Supply and Regenerative Braking
A motor drive bench powered at its DC link terminals needs a bus that supplies the drive and takes energy back when the motor brakes. How one bidirectional source, sized against the real bus voltage, replaces the supply, blocking diode and load.
