Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Introduction This section covers single and multiple load connection, constant voltage and constant current operating modes, and alternate power supply configurations such as series and parallel connections. Load Connection WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with an output greater than 40 V. -
Page 28: Load Wiring
Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring To select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following factors: • insulation rating of the wire • current carrying capacity of the wire • maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines •... - Page 29 Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. See Figure 3.1 for some maximum allowable lengths for a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (0.1 V typical maximum), although units can compensate for up to 0.5 V drop in each line...

Page 31: Local Sensing
Load Connection and Sensing Local Sensing Local Sensing Sensing of the output voltage is available from both the rear panel and the front panel output connectors. Default local sensing regulates the voltage at the power supply output terminal. Use remote sensing (see “Remote Sensing” on page 32) when the voltage needs to be regulated at the load rather than at the power supply output terminals. -

Section 4. Operation Introduction Once you have installed the power supply and have connected both the AC input power and the load as covered in Section 2 Installation, the power supply is ready to operate. • Operating Modes, below, offers a brief explanation of Constant Voltage and Constant Current Mode operation. -
Page 34: Operation Operating Modes
Operation Operating Modes Note The control circuits have been designed to allow you to set output voltage and current up to 5% over the model-rated maximum values. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but we cannot guarantee full performance to specification. -
Page 35: Automatic Mode Crossover
Operation Using Multiple Supplies Automatic The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically switch Mode operating modes in response to changing load requirements. For example, if the load current attempts to increase above the setting of the current adjust control, the unit Crossover will switch automatically from CV to CI mode. - Page 36 Operation Using Multiple Supplies Note You do not need to use remote sensing for series operation. If you choose to use it, “Remote Sensing” on page 32 refer to Diodes CR1 and CR2 protect sense circuits during transient events such as momentary current limit events which may cause supply outputs to collapse.
