Automatic Crossover; Over Voltage Protection (Ovp); Setting The Ovp Level; Activated Ovp Protection Indications - TDK-Lambda Genesys GEN8-300 User Manual

- Enabled output, power supply in Constant Voltage mode: Press the PREV button and then
rotate the CURRENT encoder knob. The CURRENT meter will show the programmed
current limit for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed, and then will return to
show the actual load current.
- Enabled output, power supply in Constant Current mode: Rotate the CURRENT encoder
knob to adjust the current limit.
4. Adjustment resolution can be set to Coarse or Fine adjustment. Press the FINE button to
select between the Coarse and Fine resolution. The FINE LED turns On when the resolution
is set to FINE.

5.2.3 Automatic Crossover

If the power supply operates in Constant Voltage mode, while the load current is increased to greater
than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch to Constant Current mode. If
the load is decreased to less than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch
back to Constant Voltage mode.

5.3 OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)

The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote or local programming error or a power
supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the voltage at the power supply sense points and thus
providing the protection level at the load. Upon detection of an Over Voltage condition, the power
supply output will shut down.

5.3.1 Setting the OVP level

The OVP can be set when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). To set the OVP
level, press the OVP/UVL button, so that the CURRENT meter shows "OUP".
The VOLTAGE meter shows the OVP setting level. Rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to adjust the
OVP level. The display will show "OUP" and the setting value for 5 seconds after the adjustment has
been completed and then will return to it's previous state.
The minimum setting level is approx. 105% of the set output voltage, or the value in Table 7-6,
whichever is higher. The maximum setting level is shown in Table 5-1.
To preview the OVP setting, press OVP/UVL
pushbutton so that the CURRENT display will show
"OUP". At this time, the VOLTAGE display will show the
OVP setting. After 5 seconds, the display will return to
it's previous state.

5.3.2 Activated OVP protection indications

When the OVP is activated the power supply output shuts down. The VOLTAGE display shows
"OUP" and the ALARM LED blinks.

5.3.3 Resetting the OVP circuit

To reset the OVP circuit after it activates:
1. Reduce the power supply Output Voltage setting below the OVP set level.
2. Ensure that the load and the sense wiring is connected properly.
3. There are four methods to reset the OVP circuit.
3.1 Press OUT button.
3.2 Turn the power supply Off using the AC On/Off switch, wait until the front panel display turns
Off, then turn the power supply On using the AC On/Off switch.
3.3 Turn the power supply output Off and then On using the SO control (refer to sect.5.7). In this
method the power supply should be set to Auto-Restart mode.
3.4 Send OUT1 command via the RS232/485 communication port.
