  • Page 22: Output Summary

    The power supplies provide a floating output. The output rating of the T3PS16081P is 0-16 V / 0-8 A, while the output rating of the T3PS30051P is 0- 30 V / 0-5 A. There are two modes of output: constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC).

  • Page 23: 2-Wire Mode

    2-wire mode The operation of the output power configuration follows: Operation method: 1) Connect the output terminals As shown in the figure below, connect the load to the output terminals. CAUTION To avoid damage to the instrument, please pay attention to the positive and negative terminal polarity when connecting the load.
  • Page 24 "On". Note: Built-in overvoltage protection; When the output voltage of the T3PS16081P is greater than 22 ± 2 V or the output voltage of the T3PS30051P is greater than 36 ± 2 V, the output will automatically short-circuit, and limit the voltage output. If this occurs, please re-engage the output enable switch to resume normal output.

  • Page 25: Remote Sense Mode

    When the power supply outputs a large current, a voltage drop can occur as a result of the resistance of the output cable. To ensure an accurate output voltage, the T3PS16081P / 30051P provide a 4-wire (remote sense) mode of operation. In this mode, the voltage at the load terminal is detected instead of the voltage at the power supply output.
