Load transient response time
This test measures the time for the output voltage to recover to within 15 mV of
the nominal output voltage following a load change from full load to half load, or
half load to full load.
1 Turn off the power supply and connect the output to be tested as shown in
Table 8-1 with an oscilloscope. Operate the electronic load in the constant
current mode.
2 Turn on the power supply. Select the high voltage range (20 V/1.5 A)
[1]
, enable
the output, and set the display to the limit mode. When the display is in the
limit mode, program the current to the full-scale rated value (1.5 A)
[1]
and the
voltage to the full-scale rated value (20.0 V)
[1]
.
3 Set the electronic load to the transient operation mode between one half of
the output’s full-scale rated value and the output’s full-scale rated value at a
1 kHz rate with 50% duty cycle.
4 Set the oscilloscope for AC coupling, internal sync, and lock on either the
positive or negative load transient.
5 Adjust the oscilloscope to display transients as shown in Table 8-4. Note that
the pulse width (t2 – t1) of the transients at 15 mV from the base line is no
more than 50 µsec for the output.
