  • Page 30: Measurement Setting

    Menu Operation Warning! The upper limit for Programmable output impedance is 1.0 Ohm / 1.0 mH. If L is more than 0.5 mH and the output voltage is low (e.g. less than 100Vac), any large load current may cause an unstable output voltage. It is important that the user adjusts the L value slowly while monitoring the output voltage and listening for any unusual sounds coming from the power source.
  • Page 31 Menu Operation Glossary of Terms V, the RMS of total output voltage (Vac and Vdc), measured in volts. Vac, AC output voltage, measured in volts. Vdc, DC output voltage, measured in volts. Vpk, Peak-peak output voltage, measured in volts. I, the RMS of total output current (Iac and Idc), measured in amps. Iac, AC output current, measured in amps.

    Installation 8.6 Output Connection Warning! Be sure to disconnection from AC before access to AC output and AC input compartment. Approved flexible cords with double insulation, suitable size, min. 60 deg C as in the follo- wing table must be used as power output. Use certified type double insulated wire or cord of 18~25 mm in diameter.

  • Page 107: Remote Compensation

    Installation 8.7 Remote Compensation Remote sensing allows the power supply to automatically compensate for up to 5V voltage drop in the wires connected to the load. 1. For local sensing please refer to figure a. This method does not compensate for voltage drop on the load wires, therefore it is recommended only for low load currents, short connections to the load or where the load regulation is less critical.
