Kikusui PLZ-U Series User Manual

A-2 Appendix PLZ-U
A.2 Basic Operation Modes
The following five operation modes are available on the PLZ-U.
1. Constant current mode (CC mode)
2. Constant resistance mode (CR mode)
3. Constant voltage mode (CV mode)
4. Constant current and constant voltage mode (CC+CV mode)
5. Constant resistance and constant voltage mode (CR+CV mode)
A.2.1 Operation of the CC Mode
In CC mode, the current is kept constant even when the voltage changes.
■ CC mode operation
When the PLZ-U is used in CC mode, the PLZ-U operates as a constant current load
as shown in Fig. A-2. The PLZ-U supplies the specified current (I) independent of
the output voltage of the constant-voltage power supply (V1).

■ Transition of the operating point: Overpower protection (OPP)
We will consider the case when checking the load characteristics of the constant-
voltage power supply of Fig. A-3 using CC mode.
