How do I set the output voltage and current limits on the Xantrex XT 7-6?

To set the output voltage and current limits:The output voltage is set using the 10-turn voltage control knob.The current limit is fully adjustable from zero to the rated output using a single turn control.To operate in Constant Voltage (CV) mode, either set the current limit to maximum by turning the current control to its extreme clockwise position, or set a desired maximum current, then set the voltage control to the desired voltage. To set the Current Limit for Constant Current (CI) mode: Connect a short circuit across the output terminals. Turn the voltage control a half-turn clockwise. Set the desired maximum value of current limit by turning the current control slowly clockwise. Disconnect the shorting lead from the output terminals. To operate in CI mode, set the current limit as described above, then set the voltage control fully clockwise or to the compliance voltage of the circuit. The red current mode LED will turn on when the supply starts operating in current mode. For more information, see pages 14, 15 and 36 of the manual.

What are the maximum voltage and current outputs of the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply?

The Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply has a maximum output voltage of 0-7 V and a maximum output current of 0-6 A. For more information, see page 17 of the manual.

Can the Xantrex XT 7-6 operate in both constant voltage and constant current modes?

Yes, the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply can operate in both Constant Voltage Mode and Constant Current Mode. The power supply automatically switches between these modes based on the output voltage setting, output current limit setting, and the resistance or impedance of the attached load, a feature known as automatic crossover. For more information, see pages 35, 36 and 37 of the manual.

Does the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply have remote control capabilities?

Yes, the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply has remote control capabilities through optional interfaces:An Internal Analog Programming (APG) interface for analog signal control of voltage and current, overvoltage protection (OVP), master/slave output tracking, and remote ON/OFF.An Internal RS-232 interface for serial instrument programming using RS-232 protocol.An Internal GPIB interface for complete remote digital programming, which is IEEE-488 standard. For more information, see page 14 of the manual.

What built-in protection features does the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply offer?

The Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply offers short-circuit-proof power outlets for greater operating safety. Additionally, the optional Analog Programming (APG) interface includes overvoltage protection (OVP). For more information, see page 14 of the manual.

How accurate are the voltage and current measurements displayed on the Xantrex XT 7-6?

The meter accuracy for the Xantrex XT 7-6 is:Voltage: 1% of Vmax + 1 countCurrent: 1% of Imax + 1 count For more information, see page 17 of the manual.

What are the common applications for the Xantrex XT 7-6 Power Supply?

The XT Series, including the XT 7-6, provides reliable, high-performance solutions for a broad range of laboratory, development and system applications. The power supplies can be used as single units or combined as dual, triple, or quadruple configurations for various applications. They are also suitable for high precision applications when combined with 300 watt series power supplies.
