Output Voltage Coupling Modes
The CPS100 Series offers three output coupling modes that are user selectable.
Mode
Description
AC MODE
CPS100 provides AC Voltage Output (AC Coupled)
DC MODE
CPS100 provides DC Voltage Output (DC Coupled)
AC+DC MODE
CPS100 provides combination of both AC and DC Voltage Output. (AC+DC
Coupled)
Note:
The maximum peak voltage of any AC+DC combination cannot
exceed 424Vpk in either positive or negative quadrant.
Table 3-1: CPS100 Series Output Coupling Modes
Voltage Ranges
Two voltage ranges are available, a 150V range (low) and a 300V range (high). Low range is
always half the maximum available voltage on the HIGH range. Maximum current in the low
range is two times that of the high range. The high range allows the maximum voltage to be
programmed.
Range values are different for AC and DC modes as follows:
Mode
150V RANGE
300V RANGE
AC
0– 150 Vac RMS
0– 300 Vac RMS
DC
0– 212 Vdc
0– 424 Vdc
Table 3-2: Available Voltage Ranges by Output Mode
An AUTO mode may be selected as well. In AUTO voltage range, the power source
automatically switches between the low and high voltage ranges as determined by the
voltage set point.
Note: AUTO mode switching causes momentary loss of output voltage as the output relay
opens to allow the power source to re-configure its output. The no-output period is about
300 msecs long so the unit under test will power down until voltage is re-applied after the
range change operation. If this behavior is not desirable, select the 300V (high) range to
prevent this from happening.
