Using Under Voltage Protection (UVP)

 

 

Using Under Voltage Protection (UVP)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important: UVP will not be active for voltage set points that are less than 1%

 

 

 

of model voltage.

 

 

 

 

The UVP prevents voltage settings below a set value. The UVP lets you

 

 

 

create a voltage window of operation when used in conjunction with the

 

 

 

OVP setting. The UVP range is variable from 0 V to OVPSET –10%.

 

 

 

The UVP is a protection that becomes active after the output is enabled

 

 

 

and a period of time has passed to allow the output to reach its set point

 

 

 

value before the UVP protection begins monitoring. As with OVP if the

 

 

 

voltage set point is determined by analog control (VAP) and the voltage

 

 

 

strays to within 5% of the UVP set point then UVP Safe will trigger to

 

3

 

warn the user that they are about to trigger the UVP alarm.

 

 

The period of time before the UVP monitoring is active after the output is

 

 

 

 

 

enabled is determined by the rise-time delay for the model as listed in

 

 

 

Table C-2, “Remote Operation” on page C–4 on the row called Up-prog

 

 

 

Response Time, 0 - Vmax. Since the rise time is based on a purely

 

 

 

resistive load the user should be aware that UVP triggering might be

 

 

 

possible in capacitive or rectifier loads due to the rise time being longer.

 

 

 

In these cases it is recommended that the user mask the UVP alarm until

 

 

 

the rise time has elapsed and then unmask the alarm to allow UVP

 

 

 

protection to be enabled during operation.
