Using the HP E3631A Power Supply
In our labs we will be using the HP E3631A triple output power supply as our power
source. It will assist you in supplying power for each lab. Basic functions are explained in
the following abstract:
Getting the Basics:
You will need to obtain the proper cables to connect the power supply to your circuit.
The cables are located on both ends of the center workstation. This is what the power
supply looks like:
The HP3631A is a triple output power supply : 6V/5A, +25V/1A and -25V/1A . You will
notice on the lower right hand corner of the face that there are 6 outputs labeled : 6V +/- ,
an earth ground terminal, and 25+/- . Depending on your voltage/amperage needs you
will use the appropriate outputs. We will also be using a variety of the buttons located in
the “Function” area as well as the buttons located in the “Adjust” area. We will be using
everything enclosed by the red box in the following pictures.
