The H765 Power System is a modular power supply system from DEC, used in the BA11-K mounting box. In addition to main memory and device controllers on other PDP-11's, the BA11-K was used to hold PDP-11/04 and PDP-11/34 systems.

The H765 supplies a modest amount of +15V DC power to various backplanes mounted in the BA11-K, along with a line time clock signal, and AC and DC 'power OK' signals.

It also supplies 20-30V AC to several DEC standard modular regulators (up to four, in spaces numbered '1' through '4') mounted in the H765, which provide other voltages such as +5V to the backplanes in the mounting box.

Generally the power harness supports only a fixed arrangement as to which regulator can be in which spaces; e.g. the BA11-K harness mandates that #2 and #3 hold H744 +5V Regulators, #1 holds an H745 -15V Regulator, and #4 may hold an H754 +20V, -5V Regulator.

When the BA11-K is used in custom configurations to hold systems (such as the MJ11 memory system and MK11 memory system), other regulator configurations may be used, along with a custom harness; e.g. the MJ11 calls for two H744's and two H754's.

The H765 supported the standard DEC Remote Switching Control Bus, so it could be turned off and on from a power switch elsewhere.
