Figure 5-7: Output performance graph
According to the basic electrical formula for power (P) = current (I) x voltage (V), the
following results for the maximum power per channel:
●
NGA101, NGA141: 40.0 W for single channel
●
NGA102, NGA142: 40.0 W per channel (80 W max for the combination of two
channels)
For more information on the combination of channels, see

Operation Modes
The R&S NGA100 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.
