SPS6000X Series User Manual Theory of Operation This chapter introduces the function and principles of operating the SPS6000X series power supply. 6.1 Operating Area Description SPS6000X are DC switching power supplies with high voltage and current output. All models have continuous voltage (CV) and continuous current (CC) output control modes with working ranges limited only by the output power.
SPS6000X Series User Manual The power supply operates in CV or CC mode, which is determined by the set voltage (Vset), set current (Iset), load resistance (RL), and critical resistance (Rc, Rc=Vset/Iset). When RL>Rc, the power supply runs in CV mode. At this time, Vout = Vset, Iout < Iset. If RL decreases, when Iout = Iset, the power supply switches to CC mode.
SPS6000X Series User Manual 6.4 Bleed Circuit The SPS power supplies feature a bleed resistor. When the power is turned off and the load is disconnected, the bleed resistor will consume the power in the output capacitor. Without a bleed resistor, the output capacitor will continue to be charged, causing potential danger.
SPS6000X Series User Manual 6.6 Considerations The following conditions should be considered when using SPS power supplies: Inrush current 6.6.1 The power supply generates an inrush current when it is turned on. Ensure that the AC input power supply is sufficient at the moment of starting, especially when multiple power supplies are turned on at the same time.
SPS6000X Series User Manual As the output current is partially absorbed by the resistance, the actual Note current on load is decreased. Ensure that the resistor used can withstand the power capacity of the power supply or load. Reverse current connection method 6.6.4...
