connector shell. This cable is intended for use with a lab power supply only.
Lab Power Supply for Tandem-AutoBox
For experiments with the Tandem‑AutoBox in a laboratory, you can
use a laboratory power supply instead of the car battery. In this case
you should note the requirements and information provided below.
The following explanations relate only to the “AutoBox”. Therefore
the values stated are valid only for one power supply.
Objective
n The specified input voltage for the AutoBox power supply (8 V …
60 V DC normal operating range) must not be exceeded.
n Your laboratory power supply must be able to supply approx. 240
W continuous output power. This means, for example if all slots in
the AutoBox are filled:
n At 12 V nominal input voltage your lab power supply must
provide 20 A.
n At 60 V input voltage (max. permissible) your lab power supply
must provide 4 A.
Good results have been optained with 24 V-laboratory power
supplies.
n If your lab power supply provides adjustable current limiting: Use
always the maximum value.
