(HIGH CV MODE)
OUTPUT CAPACITOR BANK NOT FUNCTIONING
50 volts
This is NOT the typical CV output
voltage waveform. The capacitor
bank is not functioning. Note the
"ripple" in the waveform. The capac-
itor bank was disconnected to simu-
late an open or non-functioning
capacitor bank. Each vertical divi-
sion represents 50 volts and each
horizontal division represents 5 mil-
liseconds in time.
Note: Scope probes connected at
machine output terminals.
