    Load Connection Load Connection This section provides recommendations for load wires and covers single and multiple load configurations. Load Wiring Make load connections at the rear of the power supply at the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals. To select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following factors: insulation rating of the wire •...
  • Page 33: Making Load Connections

    Figure 2.2 Maximum Load Wire Length for 1 V Line Drop Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use shielded pair wiring of shortest possible length for load wires. Connect the shield to the power supply chassis. Where shielding is impossible or impractical, simply twisting the wires together will offer some noise immunity.
  • Page 34: Inductive Loads

    Load Connection Inductive To prevent damage to the power supply from inductive kickback, connect a diode across the output. The diode must be rated at least 20% greater than the supply’s Loads output voltage and have a current rating greater than or equal to the supply’s output rating.
  • Page 35: Remote Sensing

    Remote Sensing Remote sensing permits you to shift the regulation point of the power supply from the output terminals to the load or other distribution terminals. It compensates for voltage losses of up to a total of 5 V in the power leads supplying the load (3 V on 7.5 V unit).
  • Page 36: Sense Wiring

    Remote Sensing To compensate for losses in power leads connected to the output, your power supply provides sense connections beside the output terminals. With remote sense leads in place, the supply regulates to the displayed voltage at the point where the sense lines are connected to the output leads (provided the sum of these lead losses does not exceed 5 V per line or 3.5 V per line for a 7.5 V unit).

  • Page 38: Constant Voltage Mode Operation

    Standard Operation Output Voltage Figure 3.1 Operating Modes The control circuits have been designed to allow you to set output voltage and Note current up to 1.5% over the model-rated maximum values. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but we cannot guarantee full performance to specification.

    4. Disconnect the shorting lead from the output terminals. The power supply will now automatically switch into current limiting mode (current regulation) as soon as the preset current level is reached. Setting the To operate the supply in CI mode: Supply to 1.
  • Page 40: Using Over Voltage Protection (Ovp)

    Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the output voltage at the output of the power supply and will shut down the main power converter whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded.
  • Page 41: Using The Shutdown Function

    Using the Shutdown Function Use the shutdown function to disable or enable the supply’s output via a logic level signal so that you can make adjustments to either the load or the power supply without shutting off the power supply. Activate this function via remote control through the rear panel J210 Programming and Monitoring connector, using a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) or CMOS compatible signal.
  • Page 42: Using Multiple Supplies

    Using Multiple Supplies Using Multiple Supplies WARNING There is a shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with a rated or combined output greater than 40 V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages created by series connection, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible.
  • Page 43 Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation (Voltage Mode Only) Connect power supplies in series to obtain a single output supply with higher output voltage. Connect the negative (–) terminal of one supply to the positive (+) terminal of the next supply. The total voltage available is the sum of the maximum voltages of each supply (add voltmeter readings).
  • Page 44: Configuring Multiple Supplies For Parallel Operation

    Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Multiple Supplies for Parallel Operation CAUTION For parallel operation , set all OVP trip points higher than the maximum output voltage. Connect power supplies in parallel to obtain a single output supply with a higher output current limit. Set all of the outputs to the same voltage before connecting the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals in parallel.
  • Page 45: Configuring Multiple Supplies For Split Supply Operation

    Configuring Multiple Supplies for Split Supply Operation Split supply operating uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive-negative supply. Two Positive Voltages To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection.
  • Page 46 Using Multiple Supplies Positive-negative supply To obtain a positive-negative supply, connect the negative output terminal of one supply to the positive terminal of the second supply. The positive output terminal of the first supply now provides a positive voltage relative to the common connection. The negative output terminal of the second supply provides the negative voltage.
