Programming Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection guards the load against output voltages that reach a
specified value greater than the programmed protection level. It is accomplished
by shorting the output via an internal SCR when the trip level is set to equal or
greater than 3 volts, or by programming the output to 1 volt when the trip level is
set to less than 3 volts.
The following steps show how to set the OVP trip level, how to check OVP
operation, and how to clear overvoltage condition.
– Front-panel operation:
Setting the OVP level and enable the OVP circuit
1 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; the output is disabled
(the
OFF annunciator turns on); the 8V/20A
[1]
or 25V/7A
[2]
range is selected
(the 8V
[1]
or 25V
[2]
annunciator turns on); and the knob is selected for voltage
control.
2 Enable the output.
The OFF annunciator turns off and the display will go to the meter mode.
