APPLICATIONS

GENERAL

The Model 1735A power supply has a very wide variety of applications in electrical and electronics servicing, engineering laboratories, manu facturing and testing facilities, schools, and home hobbying. The power supply output is fully adjustable from 0 to 30 volts and 0 to 3 amps. This flexibility makes them suitable for most applications requiring a dc power source.

ELECTRONICS SERVICING

Most electronics troubleshooting and repair is performed on a test bench. This power supply can provide the dc power source to operate a module or circuit board on the test bench when it is removed from its parent equipment. It can be used to power portable, battery -operated equipment and check the effect of low battery voltage. It can power vehicular equipment such as tape players, auto sound systems, CB radios, etc. on the test bench.

Most automobiles and other vehicles use 12- volt electrical systems. Although the electrical system is normally referred to as a 12-volt system, actual battery voltage when fully charged is approximately 14 volts. The power supply may be set to 14 volts for servicing equipment from vehicles with 12 -volt electrical systems. Some trucks use a 24- volt electrical system; bench testing of equipment from these systems should be performed at 28 volts.

Some servicing applications require the injection of a variable dc voltage for certain tests, such as checking the effect of AGC bias in a television receiver. This requires an isolated dc power supply, such as the Model 1735A.

The equipment being tested may contain its own power supply and operate from ac power. A dc voltage may already be present in the circuit. One polarity of the power supply output is floated to an appropriate point in the circuit, such as the emitter of a transistor. The other polarity of the power supply output is then applied to another point in the circuit, such as the base of that transistor. Varying the power supply voltage then varies the dc bias on the stage, and the effects may be noted. A series limiting resistor is often used to protect the circuits from overdissipation.

ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING

In electronics manufacturing facilities, the power supply is often used as a dc power source while testing and adjusting modules, subassemblies, and complete units in the production and assembly area or in the quality control area. The instrument can be used in incoming inspection as a dc power source for testing purchased components and subassemblies.

This power supply is particularly well suited for manufacturing applications because of its ease of operation and its continuous duty rating. When load current or total power dissipation are among the main characteristics to be measured, the total load current and voltage are easily displayed on the LED displays. The current limit can be set so that all units which do not meet the load current specification will cause the CC indicator to light, and the unit can be rejected.
