To protect the load a
g
ainst excessive currents, the maximum current Iset can be
pro
g
rammed, and the overcurrent protection can be enabled.
To protect the load a
g
ainst excessive volta
g
es, the overvolta
g
e protection level
OVPset can be pro
g
rammed.
LIMITATIONS
The output power is limited by:
• the output specific maximum power Pmax, accordin
g
to the formula:
Iset x Vset <= Pmax
RESTRICTIONS
The output volta
g
e is restricted by:
• the output specific maximum volta
g
e, or
• the overvolta
g
e protection level OVPset
Note: When the output volta
g
e exceeds the overvolta
g
e protection level,
both the output volta
g
e and current are reduced to zero.
The output current is restricted by:
• the output specific maximum current, or
• the pro
g
rammed maximum current level Iset
Note: If the overcurrent protection has been enabled and the output current
exceeds the maximum current (I
set
), the output volta
g
e and current
are reduced to zero.
If the overcurrent protection has been disabled, the output current
will be kept at its maximum (I
set
). The consequence is that the output
volta
g
e will not reach its pro
g
rammed value (V
set
), and the output
channel will
g
o into the CC mode.
