Check out Thurbey Thandar http://www.tti-test.com for a model TSX-P3510
which is a switcher doing 35V 10A, RS232 or GPIB remote control available as
standard. Have used several of these and they work quite nicely. Also
available through RS Components.

If you do not need the programmable settings you may be able to use the TSX
series, which seems to be the same device without the remote control. You
loose the third display which gets to display the watts output when the
output is on though.

I cannot remember if they will actually push to 36V, but you may be able to
get them to tweak it for you, especially if you do not need the full 10A.
They also do an 18V 20A version of it, which suggests they may be able to do
so.

Just looking further through the catalogue page I have, look also at the
EX-R series, which is specifically listed as going to 42 volts, 180W to 420W
capability.

In any doubt talk to their sales rep. The guy I have dealt with is Leigh
Delves tel 01480 412 451, mobile 07770 898802. I have no association with
them, just satisfied customer.
