Phase Mode Control; Current Limit Adjustment - Ametek L Series User Manual

6.6 Phase mode control

If the connected L-Series is a three phase model and is
equipped with the MODE option, the phase mode control will be
enabled. This control consists of two option boxes, one for
single phase mode and one for three phase mode. Clicking on
Single ø will put all three amplifiers in parallel and provide all
power available to phase A. Clicking on Three ø will use one amplifier per
phase for three phase operation.
Note : changing phase mode will cause the output voltage for all phases
to be set to zero volt.

6.6.1 Current limit adjustment

switching to three phase mode. When three phase mode is selected, it may
be necessary to trim the current limit value back to avoid exceeding the
maximum available current. This is done automatically by the LSGUI
program. Thus, the user may see his current limit value change when he
switches from single to three phase mode. The opposite is not true however.
When switching from three phase to single phase mode, the set value of the
current limit is not changed but the maximum value is. The user will see the
position of the slider handle on the slider control change.
