  • Page 30: Overvoltage Protection

    Either positive or negative voltages can be obtained from the supply by grounding one of the output terminals. It is best to avoid grounding the output at any point other than the power supply output terminals to avoid noise problems caused by common-mode current flowing through the load leads to ground.
  • Page 31: Operating Modes

    circuits within the supply the power supply output drops to zero and the UNREGULATED indicator turns on. The power supply can be disabled by overvoltage, overtemperature, or by low or high ac line (mains) voltage. Overvoltage. If the voltage across the power supply output terminals rises above a preset level, possibly because of a hardware malfunction, the overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit will trip.

Similarly, the line representing load resistance C, the lowest load resistance shown on the graph, crosses the operating locus at point 3.
  • Page 33: Constant Voltage Operation

    Constant Voltage Operation By pressing the DISPLAY SETTINGS pushbutton switch you can observe the setting (limits) of both the output voltage and the output current, rather than the actual output values. This you set the current limit when the power supply is operating in CV mode, or set the voltage limit while in CC mode, without having to disconnect or adjust the load.

  • Page 36: Analog Programing

    Analog Programming These instruments can obtain their output voltage and current programming information from three distinct sources: 1) locally from the front panel, 2) remotely from an external isolated, voltage source or, 3) remotely from an external isolated, resistance. Mode switches B1, B2, .through B6, located on the rear of these products, enable the user to make these selections.

    Figure 3-9. Optional Voltage Divider for Program Source Constant Current Output, Resistance Control. The setup shown in Figure 3-10 allows the output current to be varied by using an external resistor to program the supply. A programming resistor variable from 0 to 4000 ohms produces a proportional output current from zero to full scale. Note that fixed resistors may be connected in series and/or parallel with the variable programming resistor to set lower and/or upper output current limits.

    The power supply can be operated in combination with other power supplies to provide increased output capability. Auto- parallel operation of two power supplies can provide up to twice the output current. Other configurations are possible. Contact Agilent Technologies, Power Products Division for specific application assistance. Auto-Parallel Operation Two units can be connected in an auto-parallel combination to provide twice the output current capability.

    = Handle Setting Voltage and Current. Program the slave unit's output voltage above the master's to avoid interference with master- unit CV control. The slave unit's mode switches disable the slave unit's digital current setting from having any effect in auto- parallel operation.
  • Page 41: Monitor Signals

    Caution: When two supplies are operated in series, they should be programmed to the same voltage to prevent possible damage to the lower voltage supply during short circuit conditions. Contact the factory if this is not possible. = Handle Monitor Signals Amplified and buffered voltage and current monitor output signals are available at the rear-panel terminal strip.
