    Section 2. Installation AC Input Power Connection AC Input Power Connection WARNING There is a potential shock hazard if the power supply chassis and cover are not connected to an electrical ground via the safety ground in the AC input connector. Ensure that the power supply is connected to a grounded AC outlet with the recommended AC input connector configured for the available line voltage as described in this section.

    Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Introduction This section covers single and multiple load connection, constant voltage and constant current operating modes, and alternate power supply configurations such as series and parallel connections. Load Connection WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with an output greater than 40 V.
  • Page 26: Connection Load Wiring

    Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring To select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following factors: • Insulation rating of the wire • Current carrying capacity of the wire • Maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines •...
  • Page 27 Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring Length for Operation With Sense Lines For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. See Figure 3.1 for some maximum allowable lengths for a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (0.1 V typical maximum), although units can compensate for up to 0.5 V drop in each line...
  • Page 28: Making Load Connections

    Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Making Load Connections at the Front Panel Binding Posts Connections To make connections at the front panel, connect load wires using stripped wire (0.6 in./15 mm), spade lugs, or banana plugs to the output binding posts. For binding posts locations, see Figure 1.1, “Front Panel Controls”.
  • Page 29: Grounding

    Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Grounding Grounding Make proper ground connections to avoid developing paths between separate ground points. To avoid ground loops, there must be only one ground return point in a power system. If the load itself is not grounded, ground the positive or negative output to the supply’s chassis using a rear panel screw or the front panel ground binding post.

  • Page 34: Constant Voltage Mode Operation

    Section 4. Operation Operating Modes Constant The power supply will operate in constant voltage (CV) mode whenever the load current I is less than the current limit setting I or: I < I (Note: I Voltage Mode In CV, the power supply maintains the output voltage at the selected value (V Operation while the load current I varies with the load requirements.
  • Page 35: Automatic Mode Crossover

    Section 4. Operation Operating Modes Automatic The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically switch Mode operating modes in response to changing load requirements. For example, if the load current attempts to increase above the setting of the current adjust control, the unit Crossover switches automatically from CV to CI mode.

    Section 4. Operation Using Multiple Supplies Connecting Multiple Supplies in CAUTION For parallel operation with OVP-equipped supplies, set all OVP trip points higher Parallel than the maximum output voltage. To prevent the internal OVP fuse from blowing Figure 4.3 during OVP trip events, add external blocking diodes as illustrated in Use diodes rated to handle the maximum current for the supply.
