DESCRIPTION : The 1794 High Current Regulated D.C. Power Supply is completely solid and suitable for bench operation or standard 19" rack operation. It is a well regulated constant voltage / constant current supply which delivers 0-32V at 0-20Amps and can be adjusted continuously throughout the output range.

INITIAL INSPECTION : As soon as the power supply 1794 unit is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Save all packing material until inspection is completed. If any damage is found, notify the carriers immediately. Our authorised representatives should also be notified.
230V Mains Operation at the Input of EMI Filter located at bottom side of the unit. REPACKAGING FOR SHIPMENT : To ensure safe shipment of the power supply 1794 unit, it is recommended that the package designed for the unit be used. The original packaging material is reusable.
Press OUTPUT switch to ON position and observe that CV LED lights ( CONSTANT CURRENT VOLTAGE (CC) MODE : a. Turn off the suppy. Short circuit the output terminals of the power supply & turn on the supply. b. Keep the OUTPUT ON/OFF switch in the OFF position ( c.
Remote sensing is accomplished by connnecting the load to remote sense terminals on the front panel. The leads from the sensing( +S and -S) terminals to the load will carry much less current than the load leads and it is not required that these leads be as heavy as the load leads.
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE : Internal capacitor C3 ( L1791-FP-CNT-0603 PCB ) connected across the output terminals of the power supply, helps to supply high current pulses of short duration during constant voltage operation. Any capacitance added externally will improve the pulse current capability, but will decrease the safety provided by the constant current circuit.

OPERATORS SAFETY SUMMARY The general safety information in this part of the summary is for both operating & servicing personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will be found throughout the manual where they apply, but may not appear in this summary. TERMS IN THIS MANUAL : CAUTION : Statements identify conditions or practices that could result in...
USE THE PROPER FUSE : To avoid fire hazard, use only fuse of the correct type, voltage rating and current rating as specified in the parts list for your product. For 115V operation 20A, For 230V operation 10A Slow blow. Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
GENERAL : The instrument has been tested throughly and then released for dispatch.Normally, the unit works satisfactorily under all condition. However due to ageing / misuse or malfunctioning, the unit may become defective. In case, the user wants to carryout Servicing, the following instructions will be helpful in rectifying the defects.
checked by substituting a new component for it ( or one which has been checked previously). However, be replacement transistor might also be damaged. If substitute transistors are not available, use a dynamic tester. Static-type testers are not recommended, since they do not check operation under simulated operating conditions.

5.3.6 If Fuse blows, connect the unit through a variable AC Source with a current meter and monitor the current at no load. If the current is very high (more than 2 ampere or so ) load, check for Bridge Rectifier short or shorted Diode, or Secondary Winding short, etc 5.3.7 If output voltage or current DPM's are not reading, check for loose connections especially in crimping, soldering, of Connectors.

Static discharge can damage any semiconductor This instrument contains electrical components that are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Static voltages of 1KV to 30KV are common in unprotected environments. Observe the following precautions to avoid damage : Minimize handling of static-sensitive components. Transport and store static-sensitive components or assemblies in their original containers, on a metal rail, or on conductive foam.
