Constant Voltage(CV) Test 

The measuring device must be connected as close to the output termi-
nals  as  possible  when  measuring  the  output  impedance,  transient
response,  regulation,  or  ripple  of  the  power  supply  in  order  to  achieve
valid measurements. A measurement made across the load includes the

impedance several orders of magnitude greater than the supply output
impedance, thus invalidating the measurement. 

 

 

 

 

 

Load Effect(Load Regulation)  

Definition

: CV Load Effect is the change  in dc  output voltage when

load resistance changes from open circuit to full load or from full load
to open circuit. 

Test Parameters:

 

Measured Variable: Output Voltage 
Expected Results: Less than 0.01% plus 2 mV 

Test Procedure:

  

a. Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure A-2. Operate 

the electronic load in constant current mode and set its current 
to the full rated value of the power supply (E3610A: 3.0 A, 
E3611A: 1.5 A, E3612A: 0.5 A).  

b.

Turn the unit's power on and turn CURRENT control fully clock-
wise.  

c.

Turn up output voltage to the full rated value (E3610A: 8.0 V, 
E3611A: 20 V, E3612A: 60 V) as read on the digital voltmeter.  

d.

Record the output voltage at the digital voltmeter.  

e. Operate the electronic load in Open(Input Off) mode.  
f.

When the reading settles, record the output voltage again. 
Check that the two recorded readings differ no more than 
0.01% of output voltage plus 2 mV.

Source Effect(Line Regulation) 

Definition:

 Source effect is the change in dc output voltage when the

ac input voltage changes from a minimum to maximum value

(

± 10%

of nominal voltage). 

Test Parameter:

 

Measured Variable: Output Voltage 
Expected Results: Less than 0.01% plus 2 mV 

Test Procedure:

 

a.

Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure A-2. Operate 
the electronic load in constant current mode and set its current
