DC OUTPUT
1. The 6A output provides a DC current of 0...6A with a maximum output
voltage of 60V (360W). The output value is set by the software.
The 6.3A T (6.3 Amps slow-acting wire fuse 5x20mm, situated at the front
panel’s AC OUTPUT group) protects both the AC OUTPUT in 6A current
mode and the DC OUTPUT.
2. The 400A output is situated at the left-hand side of CPC 100 as shown at
”High-Voltage and High-Current Outputs” on page 2-3.
They provide an output current of 0...400A at a voltage of 4...4.5V. The
actual output power (1600W max.) depends on the current magnitude. For
details refer to ”High-Current and High-Voltage Outputs” on page 16-5.
The current that flows from this output is measured internally by CPC 100,
and displayed on the respective test card.
All outputs are overload and short-circuit-proof and protected against external
high-voltage signals as well as over-temperature.
Note: The length of time a high current or a voltage can be applied may be
limited due to a high temperature occurrence of the internal
transformer windings and/or heat dissipaters. This high temperature
occurrence may even be increased if CPC 100 is operated in a hot
environment or is exposed to direct sunlight.
It is highly recommended not to exceed the max. duration time t
max
specified for each current and voltage output (refer to ”CPC 100
Outputs” on page 16-5). If you do, and CPC 100 develops too high an
internal temperature, the outputs are shut off automatically.
