Figure 5-11: Output performance graph
According to the electrical basis formula for power (P) = current (I) x voltage (V), the
following results for the maximum power per channel:
●
R&S NGP802, R&S NGP822: 200 W per channel (400 W max for the combination
of two channels)
●
R&S NGP804, R&S NGP824, R&S NGP814: 200 W per channel (800 W max for
the combination of four channels)

Operation modes
The R&S
NGP800 operates in two different modes, i.e. CV and CC. The instrument
switches automatically between CV and CC depending on the connected load.
CV mode
shows that if the instrument is in the range of voltage regulation, the output
voltage V
out
remains constant while the current may increase to its maximum value I
max
when the connected load is increasing. In CV mode, the font text in the channel display
area changes to green.
