Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of this instrument. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Hewlett-Packard Company assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
GENERAL
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). The protective features of this
product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in the operating instructions.
Any LEDs used in this product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC 825-1.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2 environment. It is designed to
operate at a maximum relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters. Refer to the specifications tables
for the ac mains voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature range.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage, the correct fuse is installed, and all safety precautions
are taken. Note the instrument's external markings described under "Safety Symbols".
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument
must be connected to the ac power supply mains through a three-conductor power cable, with the third wire firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. For instruments designed to be hard-wired to the ac
power lines (supply mains), connect the protective earth terminal to a protective conductor before any other connection is
made. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will
cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. If the instrument is to be energized via an external
autotransformer for voltage reduction, be certain that the autotransformer common terminal is connected to the neutral
(earthed pole) of the ac power lines (supply mains).
ATTENTION: Un circuit de terre continu est essentiel en vue du fonctionnement sécuritaire de l'appareil. Ne
jamais mettre l'appareil en marche lorsque le conducteur de mise … la terre est d‚branch‚.
FUSES
Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type (normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Do
not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders. To do so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be
made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge
circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is
present.
DO NOT EXCEED INPUT RATINGS
This instrument may be equipped with a line filter to reduce electromagnetic interference and must be connected to a
properly grounded receptacle to minimize electric shock hazard. Operation at line voltages or frequencies in excess of
those stated on the data plate may cause leakage currents in excess of 5.0 mA peak.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modifications to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office for service and
repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation
until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

General Information
Introduction
This manual contains specifications, installation instructions, and operating instructions for DC Power Supply Models:
HP6010A, 6011A, 6012B, 6015A, 6023A and 6028A. Refer to "Related Documents" for other information concerning
these products.
Description
These power supplies are autoranging supplies. Autoranging allows the power supply to deliver full output power over a
higher voltage and current combination than would be possible with a rectangular output characteristic (see figure 1-1).
They use a 20k Hz pulse-width modulation circuit with power MOSFETs to provide the autoranging output characteristic
with laboratory performance.
Output voltage and current are continuously indicated on two 3 ½ digit displays. Front-panel controls allow the user to set
output voltage, current and Overvoltage Protection (OVP) trip levels. OVP protects the load by quickly and automatically
interrupting energy transfer if a preset voltage trip level is exceeded. Push button switches allow the display to alternately
show the programmed values of voltage and current or the overvoltage limit. LED indicators show the operating state of
the unit (CV, CC, Unregulated and Overvoltage).
All connections are made to rear-panel screw-on terminals.
Output voltage can be locally or remotely sensed.
A six-position MODE switch located on the rear panel is used to change from front panel control to remote voltage or
remote resistance control. See section 3 for a description of remote programming, remote sensing and several methods of
multiple supply operation.
Either the positive or negative output terminal may be grounded or the output may be floated (including output voltage) up
to ± 240 Vdc on models 6011A, 6012B, 6023A and 6028A or ± 550 Vdc on models 6010A and 6015A from chassis
ground.
The power supply is fan cooled and is packaged in a Hewlett-Packard System II-compatible modular that provides easy
access for servicing. A thermostat shuts down the supply if an over-temperature condition occurs and resets automatically.
Safety Considerations
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). The instrument and this manual
should be reviewed for safety markings and instructions before operation. Refer to the Safety Summary page at the

Specifications
Specifications for the power supply fall into two major categories: performance specifications and supplemental
characteristics.
Performance specifications describe the power supply's warranted performance. All performance specifications are at the
rear output terminals with a resistive load. Specifications apply over the full operating temperature range of 25 +/- 5°C
unless otherwise specified range. The Service Manual has procedures for verifying the performance specifications.
Supplemental characteristics give typical but non-warranted performance parameters. Design or type testing determines
supplemental characteristics. They are useful in understanding the power supply’s operation when accessing applications
for the power supply.

General Information 13
DC Floating Voltage: Either output terminal may be floated up to the following voltage (including the output voltage)
from earth ground:
± 240 Vdc on Models 6011A, 6012B, 6023A, and 6028A
± 550 Vdc on Models 6010A and 6015A
Exceeding these voltages can result in damage to the equipment.
Efficiency (typical): 80% on maximum output boundary
Remote Sensing: The power supply maintains specifications at the load with up to 0.5 Volt per load lead with sense wire
resistance less than 0.2 Ω per lead and sense lead length less than 5 metres. Operation with up to 2 volts per load lead is possible
with some degradation of the load effect specification.
Multiple Operations: Up to two similar units may be connected in series, parallel or auto-parallel, to provide increased
output capabilities. Mixing supplies with dissimilar output capabilities is not recommended because under certain
conditions, the lower output supply may be stressed beyond its maximum voltage and or current capabilities by the higher
output supply.
Reactive Loads: Stable with inductive loads up to 100 mH and capacitive loads up to 10 F. CC compensation that
provides up to 10 H (with increased settling times) is available on special order.
Voltage Overshoot (typical): The output voltage will overshoot its steady state value by less than 250 mV (1 V on Model
6015A) due to any of the following conditions:
1. Up programming
2. Crossover from CC to CV mode
3. A step change of up to 5A
4. AC power on
Temperature Rating (°C):
• Operating is 0-50 (HP 6010A/6011A/6012B/6015A)
0-55 (HP 6023A/6028A)
• Storage is - 40 + 75 (all models)
