    PSB-1000 Series User Manual Slew Rate The PSB-1000 has selectable slew rates for CC Theory and CV mode(see page 81 for slew rate control). This gives the PSB-1000 power supply the ability to limit the current/voltage draw of the power supply. Slew rate settings are divided into High Speed and Low Speed.
  • Page 32: Internal Resistance

    This allows the power supply to simulate power sources that have internal resistances such as lead acid batteries. By default the internal resistance is 0Ω.

  • Page 35 PSB-1000 Series User Manual Considerations The following situations should be taken into consideration when using the power supply. When the power supply switch is first turned Inrush current on, an inrush current is generated. Ensure there is enough power available for the power supply when first turned on, especially if a number of units are turned on at the same time.
  • Page 36 GETTING STARTED When the power supply is connected to a Reverse Current: regenerative load such as a transformer or Regenerative load inverter, reverse current will feed back to the power supply. The PSB-1000 power supply cannot absorb reverse current. For loads that create reverse current, connect a resistor in parallel to the power supply to bypass the reverse current.
  • Page 37 PSB-1000 Series User Manual Ensure the reverse withstand voltage of the diode CAUTION is able to withstand 2 times the rated output voltage of the power supply and the forward current capacity can withstand 3 to 10 times the rated output current of the power supply. Ensure the diode is able to withstand the heat generated in the following scenarios.
  • Page 38 GETTING STARTED Grounding The output terminals of the PSB-1000 power supplies are isolated with respect to the protective grounding terminal. The insulation capacity of the load, the load cables and other connected devices must be taken into consideration when connected to the protective ground or when floating.
  • Page 39 PSB-1000 Series User Manual If the positive or negative terminal is connected Grounded output to the protective ground terminal, the terminal insulation capacity needed for the load and load cables is greatly reduced. The insulation capacity only needs to be greater than the maximum output voltage of the power supply with respect to ground.
