    Power Amplifier Type 2720 – User Manual • Voltage Mode: Provides constant voltage characteristics independent of changes of test object on the exciter. Gives the best acceleration waveform and is therefore preferable for most vibra- tion tests • Current Mode: Provides constant current characteristics, keeping the generated force inde- pendent of changes of test object.

  • Page 12 Mains Voltage Setting Type 2720 can be powered from a 100 V, 120 V or 230 V ±10% (50 to 60 Hz), single-phase AC mains supply. To select the correct mains voltage setting, use a small screwdriver to remove the...
  • Page 13: Operating Procedure

    Power Amplifier Type 2720 – User Manual Mains Socket Connection Once the mains voltage setting and fuse are correct, use the power cable provided to connect the mains to the mains input socket of the amplifier. Note, that for maximum operating safety the protective (green/yellow) conductor of the cable should be connected to a suitable earth, such as the earth contact of a mains outlet socket.
  • Page 14 CHAPTER 3 Operation Warning Lamps and Fault Detection If one of the red warning lamps lights up, a fault has occurred in the system. Under such circumstances, the test is automatically stopped to protect the amplifier and exciter. To help establish the cause of the shutdown, some probable faults are given in the table below.

  • Page 16: Characteristics

    Characteristics Signal Inputs The signal inputs of Type 2720 have a minimum input impedance of 10 kΩ. The AC signal input is for connecting an exciter controller or generator and is capacitive-coupled giving a – 0.5 dB lower limiting frequency of approximately 15 Hz. The DC signal input is direct-coupled enabling a DC offset voltage to be applied for centring the exciter armature.
  • Page 17 100k Frequency (Hz) 010203 The power output of Type 2720 is direct-coupled. Its output impedance, shown in Fig.4.1, depends on the feedback setting selected using the V/C Mode switch. Fig.4.2 Maximum output current rating of Type 2720 as a function of frequency 11.25A...

  • Page 19 Power Amplifier Type 2720 – User Manual Distortion The percentage of harmonic distortion produced by Type 2720 is shown in Fig.4.4. Considering the 500 VA power output rating of the amplifier, the amount of distortion is very low. This can be attributed to the generous amount of feedback applied and the use of a direct-coupled input.
