    )set the voltage level of the corresponding output. The voltage controls are 10 turn potentiometers. Turn-on Checkout Procedure The following steps describe the use of the Model E3620A front panel controls illustrated in Figure 1-2 and serve as a brief check that the supply is operational.
  • Page 22: Operation

    Operation The dual outputs of the E3620A can be used individually, in series, or in parallel. Each output can be floated (up to 240 volts off ground) or, the + or - terminal of either output can be grounded to the chassis ground terminal which is located on the supply's front panel.
  • Page 23 V2) must be adjusted in order to obtain the total output voltage. Diodes connected internally across each output protect the supply's output filter capacitors against reverse voltages. This could occur if the supplies are connected in series and the output is shorted. Keysight E3620A Operating and Service Manual...

  • Page 25: Load Considerations

    To avoid these effects, it is necessary to preload the supply with a dummy load resistor so that the supply delivers current through the entire operating cycle of the load devices. Keysight E3620A Operating and Service Manual...
