    Bipolar power supplies Unipolar and bipolar power supplies Unlike with resistive loads, when a power supply that alternates voltage polarity based on time is applied to an inductive or capacitive load, the current phase becomes Unipolar power supplies lagging or leading to the voltage phase. (First- and third-quadrant operation) If this occurs, there are four possible combinations of the voltage and current polarities.

  • Page 36: Operation Modes

    Operation Modes The PBZ has the following two operation mode settings. You can specify each setting individually. ● Bipolar/unipolar mode In bipolar mode, the PBZ operates as a bipolar power supply. In unipolar mode, the PBZ operates as a power supply that generates positive voltage and positive and negative (source and sink) current.

  • Page 37: Cv/Cc Mode

    Operation Modes In these situations, if you set the PBZ to unipolar mode, you can greatly reduce the output amplifier’s internal loss. As a result, the PBZ’s operating range in the second quadrant will be expanded to its rated values. Example of a battery load The PBZ is in unipolar mode in the figure below.

  • Page 38: Circuit Configuration

    Circuit Configuration The PBZ is designed so that you can select either an internal or external signal source.

    Controlling DC Signals (The DC Settings) Using External Resistance You can control the internal signal source’s DC signal by changing the reference voltage’s voltage-divider ratio through the use of external variable resistors. In CV mode, you can control the voltage. In CC mode, you can control the current. The output is equal to the sum of the value that is determined by the external resistance and the DC values that are set from the panel and remote control.
