If you cannot avoid capacitive coupling, it may help to place capacitors from the unused programming inputs to ground. Especially with auto-parallel operation, connecting a capacitor (≥4,000 pF) from VP to P Common on the master supply will ensure proper operation. Also with auto-parallel operation, do not allow more than about 500 pF capacitive loading between IM and Common P.

Programming

Make certain that the common connection for your voltage programming source is isolated from the load. Failure to do this may cause damage to the power supply.

The effect of the analog programming source is always summed with the values programmed over the GPIB or from the front panel. The voltage source can act alone only if you set the other program sources to zero. Keep the total programmed setting of the supply (the analog input summed with the GPIB or front panel settings) at or under the output ratings specified in Table 1-1a. Exceeding the output ratings will not damage the supply, but it may not be able to regulate its output at the higher levels. If this happens, the Unr annunciator will light to warn you that the output is unregulated.

When voltage programming the output, the frequency of the programming source is limited by the slew rate of the power supply. To keep the power supply from slewing its output (going into nonlinear operation), the maximum programming rate is 3750 V/s. The maximum downprogramming rate (when the power supply is sinking current) is 750 V/s. These restrictions can be expressed as the maximum programming frequency that can be applied without causing distortion at the output. The following formula can be used to determine this frequency:

FMAX = 50(voltage rating of supply)

p-p amplitude of desired output sine wave

At frequencies >6 kHz, voltage programming is subject to a 3 dB bandwidth limitation.

Output Isolation

The output of the power supply is isolated from earth ground. Either output terminal may be grounded, or an external voltage source may be connected between either output and ground. However, both output terminals must be kept within

±240 Vdc of ground. An earth ground terminal is provided on the rear panel for convenience, such as grounding wire shields.
