Operation Modes
The PCZ1000A has the following four operation modes. The crest factor function is
also available in constant-current mode.
•
Constant-current mode (CC mode)
•
Constant-resistance mode (CR mode)
•
Constant-power mode (CP mode)
•
Constant-c Crest Factor function
Operation Mode Display
The currently selected operation mode is indicated by the LEDs on the operation
panel.
CC mode:
The C.C LED above the I SET key illuminates.
CR mode:
The C.R LED above the R SET key illuminates.
CP mode:
Both the C.C and C.R LEDs illuminates.
CF function:
The C.F LED above the C.F key illuminates. Because the
CREST FACTOR function is only used in CC mode, the C.C
LED also illuminates.
If the operating point of the PCZ1000A is limited by an operation mode other than
the selected mode, the relevant LED blinks.
C.C LED blinks: The PCZ1000A is operating in the CP range even though CC
mode is selected.
C.R LED blinks: The PCZ1000A is operating in the CC or CP operation range
even though CP mode is selected.
CC and CP LEDs both blink:
The PCZ1000A is operating in the CC operation range even
though CP mode is selected.
• In CP mode, the PCZ1000A may not reach the CP operation range and may
operate in the CC operation range if the input voltage is low. This causes both the
C.C and C.R LEDs to blink. For example, when 1 000 W is set as the PSET value
and 10 A is set as the ISET value, the instrument will not enter the CP operation
range unless the input voltage is 100 Vrms or more. In the same way, when the
PSET value is 140 W, the PCZ1000A will not enter the CP operation range
unless the input voltage is 14 Vrms or more. In the range in which the input
voltage is 10 V rms or less, the PCZ1000A is unable to sink its maximum current
(10 Arms; see "Operation range of the PCZ1000A" above). Thus, even when a
current of the ISET value or less flows, the PCZ1000A apparently operates in the
CC operation range, causing both the C.C and C.R LEDs to blink. In particular,
near an input voltage of 0 Vrms, the CC operation current becomes almost 0
Arms. This causes both the C.C and C.R LEDs to blink, even when no power
supply under test is connected to the PCZ1000A.
