UNIT CONFIGURATION Screens
The following settings can be changed from the UNIT CONFIGURATION screens:
UNIT CONFIGURATION 1 OF 2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form
This field determines the phase mode of operation.
Available settings are One or Three. Note that for one phase
mode, it is necessary to short the three output phases
together using the optional single-phase output connector
accessory. Alternatively, the user can use an external
terminal block to tie the three phase outputs together.
Note: When switching from one phase to three phase
modes, a warning will be displayed to make sure the end-
user removes any common connections between the three
phase outputs.
Voltage Range
Although the power source uses a constant power mode
voltage range to allow operation using a single
300Vac/425Vdc voltage range only, the end user can
simulate a low voltage range by setting this field to Low.
Doing so limits programming of any output voltage to no
more than 150Vac/212Vdc or half the available voltage
range of the power source. If operation to 300Vac/425Vdc
is desired, this field should be set to High. This effectively
simulates a conventional dual voltage range model.
Mode
Sets the output mode to, AC, DC or AC+DC.
Update Phase
Sets the phase angle at which output voltage and frequency
changes will take place on phase A. This setting applies to
both steady state output changes and to the start of a
transient program execution. It also applies to the OUTPUT
ENABLE and DISABLE function key on the front panel.
Changes on phases B and C will take place at the same
moment in time but at phase angles that are shifted from
phase A by the phase angles programmed for phase B and
C.
