6. Check whether the current displayed on the screen is close to the set current value. 7. Ensure that the power supply current can be adjusted from 0A to the maximum current value within the range.
3.4 Connection of the DUT 3.4.1 DUT connection cable N35100 series power supply does not come with a connection cable for the device under test, users need to choose their own wiring. The following points should be noted when selecting wiring: ·The maximum allowable current of the wires.
3.4.2 2/4-wire connection The rated output voltage of the N35100 series power supplies is greater than the safe voltage, and hazardous voltages may be present at the output and at the connection to the equipment under test. To protect the user from accidental exposure to hazardous voltages, ensure that the equipment under test and its connections are free of any accessible live parts.
