CC load regulation
This test measures the change in output current resulting from a change in output
voltage from full scale to short circuit.
1 Turn off the power supply using the AC line switch.
2 Connect the power supply output with a DMM, an electronic load, and a
current shunt as shown below.
3 Program the output voltage and output current as described in the test record
form under CC load regulation.
4 Turn on the power supply using the AC line switch.
5 Enable the output by sending the command OUTP ON or by pressing the
output [On] key.
6 Operate the electronic load in constant voltage mode and set its voltage to the
power supply output value as described in Table 2-9.
Check that the front panel CC annunciator of the power supply remains lit. If it
turns to CV or UNREG, adjust the load so that the output current drops slightly
until the CC annunciator lights up. Record the current reading (I
load
), by
dividing the voltage reading on the DMM by the resistance of the current
monitoring resistor.
