5.10 Varying the Internal Output Resistance Value
Functions
In the voltage regulating mode, internal output resistance has a
value of close to 0
Ω
.
The internal output resistance value can be increased for certain
applications, for example simulation of long output cables or
weak automotive batteries. The selected (open-circuit) output
voltage is reduced in proportion to increasing load (Figure 5.10a).

Standardization
The standard characteristic curve shown in Figure 5.10b is valid
for all KONSTANTER models.
Quick and easy determination indicating which output resistance
R
i
correlates to any given control resistance R
ext
is made possible
with the curve.
