CV/CC Crossover Characteristics
Background
The GPE-1326/2323/3323/4323 series 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 GPE-1326/2323/3323/4323 series operates
in Constant Voltage mode. The indicator for the
corresponding channel appears on the LCD. 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
GPE-1326/2323/3323/4323 series starts operating in
Constant Current mode. The indicator for the
corresponding channel appears on the LCD. 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
GPE-1326/2323/3323/4323 series goes back to the
Constant Voltage mode.
