GENERAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING NOTES
Operating Modes:
The four modes of operation are:
Constant Current (CC):
The electronic load will sink a current in accordance with the programmed value regardless of the input voltage.
Note 1: Never use CC mode for testing a constant current source. The regulation of the two units will fight for control of
the current and an unstable oscillation will result.
Note 2: During CC mode, the electronic load can operate under the fastest transient time.
Constant Voltage (CV):
The electronic load will attempt to sink enough current to control the source voltage to the programmed value. It acts as a
shunt voltage regulator when operating in the CV mode.
Note 1: Never use CV mode for testing a constant voltage source. The regulators of the two devices will buck each other
trying to gain control of the voltage which will lead to an unstable condition.
Note 2: In CV mode, the transient time will be adjusted to a slower setting to ensure stable operation.
