When the Electronic Gain Matching DIP switch is
in the DOWN position (default), the function is dis
-
abled. When this switch is in the UP position, Gain
Matching is enabled.
SW#18 - SW#20: Synthetic Impedance
These three switches allow the addition of a
synthetic impedance on the output of the ampli
-
fier. Synthetic Impedance can be used to increase
stability when driving capacitive loads. It can also
be used in testing where the effect of long power
lines needs to be simulated (such as for power util
-
ity applications).
When all four switches are in the DOWN posi
-
tion (default), Synthetic Impedance is disabled.
The synthetic impedance can be added in incre
-
ments of 0.125 ohms by setting one or more of the
synthetic impedance switches in the UP position.
Refer to
Figure 5.2
for all available synthetic im
-
pedance switch settings.
SW#21 - #24: Current Limit
These four switches control the current-limit set-
tings for the amplifier. When all four switches are
Figure 5.3 – Current Limit Switch Configurations
in the UP position (default), the amplifier’s output
current is limited to 160A. The current-limit can be
lowered in 10A increments by setting one or more
of the current limit switches in the DOWN position.
Refer to
Figure 5.3
for all available current-limit
switch settings.
NOTE:
If all four current-limit DIP switches are set
in the DOWN position, the amplifier’s output cur
-
rent will be limited to 10A.
5.2 Custom Compensation
If you wish to change one of the two standard
compensations to a custom compensation, please
