GPD-X303S Series User Manual 
CV/CC Crossover Characteristics 
 
Background 
The GPD-4303S, GPD-3303S and  GPD-3303S 
automatically switch between constant voltage 
mode (CV) and constant current mode (CC), 
according to load condition. 
CV mode 
When the current level is smaller than the output 
setting, the GPD-X303S series operates in Constant 
Voltage mode. The indicator on the front panel 
turns green (C.V.) The Voltage level is kept at the 
setting and the Current level fluctuates according 
to the load condition until it reaches the output 
current setting. 
CC mode 
When the current level reaches the output setting, 
the GPD-X303S series starts operating in Constant 
Current mode. The indicator on the front panel 
turns red (C.C.) The Current level is kept at the 
setting but the Voltage level becomes lower than 
the setting, in order to suppress the output power 
level from overload. When the current level 
becomes lower than the setting, the GPD-X303S 
series goes back to the Constant Voltage mode.
