The power cord is a 3-core wire with grounding protection. Please use a suitable socket for operation. The power cord also matches your local voltage and plug type. If it is not matched, please contact NGI. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
After switched on, N68000 will start power-on self test. If no error is found, the LCD screen will display the below CC interface. Figure 6 CC Interface In case of test failure, please record the error information and contact NGI for support. If N68000 cannot be started properly, please refer to the following steps.
DUT and N68000 should be less than 5.0μH. 3.6.2 Control Connection At the rear panel, there are terminals for remote sense, external programming input ,etc. Figure 6 Control Signal Terminal Table 6 Terminal Definition Terminal Definition Remote sense + N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
When working under CV, CR and CP mode, to ensure accurate measurement, it is recommended to use remote sense. During remote sensing, terminals S+ and S- are directly connected to the output of the DUT. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
The DC power supply will provide a fixed voltage to ensure a high test voltage at N68000 input terminal. Figure 8 Low Voltage Test Connection N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
Hunan Next Generation Instrumental T&C Tech. Co., Ltd. 4 Functions and Features This chapter mainly describes the functions and features of N68000 series. 4.1 Control Mode N68000 provides two control modes: local control and remote control. Under local control mode, users can set and operate through N68000 buttons on front panel, and check N68000 status,parameters and readback data via the LCD screen.
For setting the resistance, when the input voltage is within the high range of rated input voltage of N68000, it is necessary to ensure that the current calculated under the Ohm's law formula is within the low range of rated input current of N68000. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
N68000 provides three modes for dynamic: continuous(CONT), pulse(PULSE) and toggle(TOGGLE). Among them, pulse mode and toggle mode require trigger signal. Trigger Trigger signal operation can be achieved by pressing , using together with trigger terminals at the rear panel. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
N68000 will immediately switch from main value to transient value, and then returns to main value after maintaining the pulse width time. The setting range of pulse width is: 0.025 ~ 60000ms. Figure 15 Pulse Mode N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
(checking if the sampling voltage/current/power is within the range). Then N68000 will switch to next step. After all test steps are completed, N68000 automatically shuts the input, stops the test, and presents the test results. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
(to charge as fully as possible). The charge test function requires to connect a DC power supply and battery or supercapacitor in series, and to use remote sense. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
ESR is a principal electrical parameter of battery or supercapacitor. With ESR measurement, N68000 absorbs current from the DUT under CC mode. When the current changes, the NGI internal resistance sensing circuit can accurately capture the voltage drop of DUT, and then calculate ESR value according to Ohm's law.
Enabled: When the input voltage is higher than Von, N68000 starts to sink current. When the input voltage is lower than Voff, N68000 stops sinking current. After that, it will not sink current automatically even the input voltage is higher than Von again. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
N68000 provides load time setting. When the loading time reaches the set value, N68000 will stop loading, which can realize accurate control of the loading time. For example, if the loading time is set to 20s, N68000 will stop loading after 20s. N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
When the input power exceeds OPP, N68000 will shut the input. Alarm OPP will be displayed on the screen. 4.13 Protection Function N68000 provides multiple protection: OCP, OVP, OPP, RV, OTP. Over Current Protection (OCP) N68000 Series High Power DC Electronic Load...
