SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation and servicing of the BOP series
of 1000 Watt rack-mounted, 4-quadrant bipolar, programmable, voltage and current stabilized d-
c power supplies manufactured by Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York, U.S.A. This manual applies
to both MG models with a GPIB digital interface and ME models with a LAN digital interface.
NOTE:This manual does not apply to units with Firmware Rev less than 6.0.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BOP Series (Figure 1-1), hereafter referred to as BOP, are true 4-quadrant programmable
voltage and current power supplies, meaning they are capable of both sourcing and sinking
power. These bipolar power supplies pass smoothly through zero without switching to provide
true ± voltage and ± current. These BOP power supplies use switch mode technology for low
dissipation. A bi-directional, isolating, a-c input power factor correcting (PFC) circuit recuperates
energy sinked from an active load and sends it back into the line to maintain low dissipation.
The BOP operates in either VOLTAGE mode or CURRENT mode. When in Voltage mode, the
power supply will (within the configured and rated limits) provide the programmed output volt-
age. Current is determined by the load, and cannot exceed the Current Protect limits. When in
Current mode, the power supply will (within the configured and rated limits) provide the pro-
grammed output current. Voltage is determined by the load, and cannot exceed the Voltage Pro-
tect limits. Figure 1-3 defines the operating limits in each mode.
These BOP power supplies are controlled digitally from a menu-driven front-panel keypad or
one of the standard remote digital interfaces (GPIB or RS 232 for MG models, or LAN or RS 232
for ME models) to set voltage and current and the four protection limits (+voltage, –voltage,
+current and –current.) A front panel rotary adjuster allows real-time adjustment of the output. A
large color LCD displays the settings, mode and the actual output voltage and current. Addition-
ally, these BOP models can be remotely controlled by an analog ±10V input for the main chan-
nel (voltage or current), and a +1 to +10V input for the limit channels.
BOP models are suitable for driving inductive loads such as large magnets or motors, and for
exercising batteries. They are also suitable for characterizing solar cell arrays, and powering
many electrochemical reactions.
