4.1 AC Load Simulation
There are two kinds of AC mode: Constant Load modes and Rectified Load Modes are shown
as Figure 3-1. The detail of Constant Load Modes is divided into three sub-modes of CC, CR
and CP modes. The detail of Rectified Load Modes is divided into three sub-modes of RLC,
CP (base on RLC mode) and Inrush Current modes. The parameters measured are described
separately as follows.
