🟦 PAR MultiChannel Power Booster
The PMC Multi-Channel Power Boosters are integrated modules that install directly into the PMC Chassis, extending the current handling capabilities of both the PMC-1000 and PMC-2000A systems. Designed for advanced electrochemical testing, these boosters are ideal for researchers working with high-power devices or low-impedance systems, such as batteries, fuel cells, and large-area electrodes. With flexible scalability and seamless operation, they provide a powerful solution for multi-channel, high-current experimentation.

➡️ 10 A in-chassis booster available and compatible with the PMC-1000 and PMC-2000A
➡️ Higher currents up to 30 A when used in parallel for battery, fuel cell, or electroplating applications
➡️ Each PMC CHS08A chassis supports up to 5 boosters
➡️ Test higher power and lower impedance batteries
➡️ Study larger electrodes with higher surface area
🟦 PMC Booster Family
Current extending boosters add to the already impressive high current capabilities of the PARSTAT MC potentiostat cards by extending the current range to 10 Amps. Up to 30 Amps of current for a single potentiostat card can be achieved by combining 3 boosters in parallel. All cables needed for parallel operation are included with each booster.
Designed specifically for the PARSTAT MC system, these boosters are capable of both DC and EIS (AC) experiments and can be installed directly into the PARSTAT MC chassis alongside the PMC-1000 or PMC-2000A cards that you have chosen instead of requiring a booster-only chassis. Not only does this save you money on your project, but it also helps you reduce the overall space your new system will occupy in your laboratory. These boosters can also be added after your purchase and are field-upgradeable thanks to the design of the PARSTAT MC chassis.

The foundation of the PARSTAT MC is the smart design of the chassis which does more than house potentiostats and boosters. The chassis utilizes user-replaceable modules with industry-leading robustness and serviceability.
➡️ Provides power, communication, and thermal dissipation to different potentiostat, galvanostat, and booster models
➡️ Constructed completely of user-replaceable functional blocks: power supply, backplane, and fans
➡️ Designed with footprint in mind, maximizes valuable bench space and fits within a standard rack
➡️ Uses on-board buffering for intelligent data transfer; protects against communication interruptions while allowing for high-speed data acquisition experiments
➡️ Maintains electrical isolation of each channel, allowing control of multiple working electrodes; asynchronous experiments will not impact each other
➡️ Manages installation and removal of channels without interrupting ongoing experiments
➡️ Houses up to 20 potentiostats, offering more throughput than any multi-channel potentiostat on the market
