A harmful amount of current could be injected into the connected
l
oad if you accidentally switch the output ON with the variac in a
position other than zero.
Current output taps
At the top of the power output section, four current injection taps are pro-
vided to adapt the
current output
characteristics to
the connected
load, as well as to
facilitate the output
level regulation.
Tap zero is the common reference. If you are testing with currents ranging
from 0 to 50 A AC, for example, connect the load between the common
tap and the tap labeled ā50 A / 20 Vā. If you are using 4 mm bananas, you
will need the supplied 6-mm to 4-mm plug adapters for the common tap
and the 100 A tap.
Press these adapters all the way down before pulling them up for
removal.
0-250 VAC voltage tap (OUT 1)
Out 1 is located on the left immediately underneath the
variac knob. Output from this tap is measured and
regulated in AC volts. Maximum throughput current is
4A in non-continuous service.
0-350 VDC
Out 2 is located on the right of Out 1. Its output is
measured and regulated in DC volts. Polarity is indi-
cated by the black (negative) and red (positive) plug
colors.
voltage tap (OUT 2)
A standard 19 mm plug can be used with this pair of
connectors. All these taps and connectors comply to
the latest international standards and electrical safety
regulations.
