and 440/480 Vac 3 types of input voltage for selection. There is also a
single phase power supply 200/240 Vac, 2KW model available for selection.
The user can follow the local voltage regulation to select a proper voltage
spec. The Power Supply is set with the required input voltage when
shipped and when the input voltage is not within the range, it will show
AC_fault protection and shut down the output.
18. It is the chassis size without any accessories.
CAUTION
1. If it is applied to battery charge or inductance load such as motors,
the output port needs to connect a diode in series to prevent the
load current from backwash and damage the device interior, see
Figure 1-1.
2. For switchable power load applications, if the output load cable is
longer (>20cm) it is suggested to strand the load cable and parallel
the capacitance at the load power input to prevent any unexpected
oscillation from occurring, see Figure 1-2.
3. For load application, it can parallel connect the capacitor more than
100uF to the load input to avoid any unexpected oscillation from
occurring
4. Do not bond the external input, output cable and communication
cable all together to avoid interference and cause device error.
WARNING
Voltage from the two output terminals to earth varies with the 62000H

2.4 Remote Sensing
2.4.1 Correct Connection
1. Connecting remote sensing wire correctly can ensure the output voltage is the set
voltage. The DC Power Supply is able to compensate maximum 4% of F.S. line
voltage drop.
2. Figure 2-6 shows the correct connection. Use two wires to connect the positive/negative
connector of load to the remote sensing connector on the rear panel. The connecting
wire diameter must be larger than 30AWG and its withstand voltage should be within the
specification.
3. Though remote sensing is able to compensate the voltage drop; however, if the line loss
is too large (see specification) it will cause protection on remote sensing as Figure 2-8
shows and is unable to compensate voltage drop correctly.
4. Connect the remote sensing wire of Model 62020H-150S as shown in Figure 2-7.
5. The Remote sensing wire needs to be connected to the DC Power Supply local output
or the remote input of UUT.

The DC Power Supply does not burn down due to reverse connection of
polarity. Do the following step to reset it:
1. First power it off.
2. Connect the remote sensing wire properly.
3. Restart the DC Power Supply.
CAUTION
1. When there is voltage existed on the device output, please avoid
connecting Remote sense to the device output or UUT reversely as it
may cause the hardware to blow up.
2. The voltage of Remote sensing and local output should be less than
10% V_MAX to prevent the device from blowing up.
3. If the Remote sense wire fell off, it could cause output voltage to
overshoot. Be sure to install the Remote sense wire correctly to the
DC Power Supply local output or the load UUT side before operating
the device.
Figure 2-8
2.4.2 Reverse Connection of Remote Sensing Wire
Polarity
The polarity of remote sensing wire must be connected correctly, that is the “+” terminal is
connected to the “+” of output terminal or to the connecting wire of the terminal, while the “–”
terminal is connected to the “–” of output terminal or to the connecting wire of the terminal.
If the polarity is connected reversely, the output will drop to 0V and prompt an error message
“SENSE FAULT” as Figure 2-8 shows.
2.5 Output Connection
The output connector of 62000H Series DC Power Supply with Solar Array Simulation is
located at the upper middle area on the rear panel and for Model 62020H-150S it is on the
left side of rear panel. The load is connected to “+” and “–” output terminal.
2.5.1 Rear Panel Output
(1) The output terminal is located at the upper middle area on the rear panel. (For Model
62020H-150S, the output terminal is located on the left side of rear panel.)
Page 38

Operating & Programming Manual
(2) The output cable must be rated 85C at least.
(3) Assembly see Figure 2-9 (a) & (b) and Figure 2-11 (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) for
62020H-150S. Execute the steps below:
a. Scrape off the skin of power cable tip (the bare portion is about 1cm) and use an O
type terminal to crimp it.
b. Secure the power cable and input terminal with a Phillips screwdriver.
c. Secure the safety cover latch and safety cover to prevent the cable from falling or
the electric terminal from exposing.
(4) A standard hoop is attached when purchasing the A620028 or A620027 SLAVE model
to fix the current sharing cables as shown in Figure 2-10. Mount it first and then continue
the installation as shown in Figure 2-9.

CAUTION
1. To meet the safety requirement, the safety cover must be tightly
secured.
2. The diameter of the wire connected to load must be able to carry
the maximum current applied.
3. It is no need to use the 62020H-150S 9PIN current sharing cable
when using the device as a standalone.

CAUTION
1. To ensure the system’s stability, the cable inductance should not
exceed 2μH. If the UUT input capacitance is too small (smaller
than 100uF), the inductance of UUT input should consolidate. The
maximum inductance of certain single model such as
62150H-1000S (380/400Vac, 440/480Vac) and A620028
(380/400Vac, 440/480Vac) can up to 2mH. It can be identified by
the sticker labeled 2mH on top of the output cover as Figure 2-12
shows. For other models with the needs, please contact Chroma’s
agent.
2. Do not use the wire with extra thin diameter to avoid overheating
and causing hazard.

when set to CC mode, the non-control item is the voltage setting and vice versa it is the
current setting when set to CV mode. To ensure the control mode is able to remain in a
fixed mode, the setting has to be larger than 3%. As Figure 3-28(a) shows the voltage
measurement is V1 so the control item is the current setting that is Iset1 instead of Vset1.
Thus, when the SETTING MARGIN is set to 3%, the Vset1=1.03*V1.

cable provided by CHROMA. The length of CURRENT SHARING
cable is limited to 3.4 meters. Do not exceed the length limit to
avoid signal unstable.
3. The CURRENT SHARING communication cable must be well
connected when in parallel operation, or it may cause the DC Power
Supply to run abnormally or poor result in CURRENT SHARING.
4. When the A620028 and A620027 are working with the MASTER
unit, please install a Terminator on the last SYSTEM BUS of parallel
path as Figure 3-36 shows.

panel (the SLAVE models A620028 and A620027 are not included)
as Figure 2-10 shows on the hardware to make sure it is an
upgraded version.
3.3.5.15 C/S CABLE ERR. Protection
This protection occurs under the following three conditions. The first condition is when the
DC Power Supply is in single unit mode and the rear panel connects the CURR. SHARING
cable as Figure 3-95 shows. The second condition is when the DC Power Supply is in
series mode and the CURR. SHARING cable is connected as shown in Figure 3-96 and
Figure 3-97. The third condition is when the DC Power Supply is in parallel mode but the
CURR. SHARING cable is not connected as shown in Figure 3-96 and Figure 3-97.

(3) For hardware upgrade, please contact the agent of Chroma.
WARNING
1. The DC Power Supply could be malfunctioned or damaged if the
CURRENT SHARING cable is connected incorrectly when in
parallel mode.
2. Do not connect the CURRENT SHARING cable when in series
operation or it could be malfunctioned or damaged.
3. Do not connect the CURRENT SHARING cable when operated
standalone, or it could cause the power supply to be malfunctioned
or damaged.
4. Be sure to remove the SYSTEM BUS and CURRENT SHARING
signal cables when returning to standalone operation or it could
cause the power supply to be malfunctioned or damaged.
Troubleshooting:
(1) Please make sure the model numbers of the DC Power Supply for
parallel and series connection are the same. For instance, the
62050H-600S can only connect to the DC Power Supply of the
same model no. for parallel or series connection. No other model
numbers are applicable.
(2) The exceptions are the 62150H-1000S can connect with A620028
and the 62150H-600S can connect with A620027 for parallel/series
connection.
It is NOT suggested to connect the power supplies with different input
voltages for series or parallel use. The output specification cannot be
guaranteed if the power supplies are not connected properly.
