(Note) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the measurement categories and their
requirements as follows. This instrument falls under category II.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the source of
low-voltage installation. Measurement category III is for measurement
performed in the building installation. Measurement category II is for
measurement performed on the circuits directly connected to the low voltage
installation.
Power supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage: 100V/120V/220V/230V ±10%, 50/60Hz
Connect the protective grounding conductor of the AC
power cord to an earth ground, to avoid electrical shock.
Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: 100V/120V: T6.3A/250V, 220V/230V:
T3.15A/250V
Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed before
power up.
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only with the
specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord before fuse replacement.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed before fuse
replacement.
Cleaning the
instrument
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent
and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemicals or cleaners containing harsh
products such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operating
environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free, almost
non-conductive pollution (note below)
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Note) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as
follows. This instrument falls under degree 2.
Pollution is defined as “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous
(ionized gases), that may produce a reduction in dielectric strength or surface
resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The
pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally,
however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation can be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs which becomes conductive due to the expected condensation. In such
conditions, while the equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct
sunlight, precipitation, and strong draughts, neither temperature nor humidity is
controlled.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord
meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead / appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in mains leads may not correspond with the colour markings identified
in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P
or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer
to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, cable
of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require
13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement must be destroyed by removal
of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if
a engaged in live socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with the information
detailed on this label.

OVERVIEW
The Overview chapter helps you become familiar with the
power supply. The front and rear panel diagrams introduce
how the panel items are called. The operation theory
describes the power supply’s internal structure, and how
the signals are processed. The specifications section lists
technical details of the power supply series.
Front Panel ............................................................................. 13
The power supply consists of the following modules.
AC input circuit
Transformer
Bias power supply including rectifier, filter,
pre-regulator and reference voltage source
Main regulator circuit including the main rectifier and
filter, series regulator, current comparator, voltage
comparator, reference voltage amplifier, remote device
and relay control circuit
The below block diagram shows the circuit arrangement.
The single phase input power is connected to the
transformer through the input circuit. Details of each part
are described after the block diagram.
For more details regarding the circuits, see page77
Block diagram
(Example for CH2)
Auxiliary Rectifier
The auxiliary rectifiers provide bias voltage filtered by the
capacitors C102 and C103, for the pre-regulators U101 and
U102. They provide a regulated voltage for other modules.
Main Rectifier
The main rectifier is a full wave bridge rectifier. It provides
the power after the rectifier is filtered by the capacitor C101,
and then regulated via a series-wound regulator, which is
finally delivered to the output terminal.

GPD-x303S Series Overview{
Current Limiter
U104 acts as a current limiter. When the current is over
predetermined rating, U104 is activated and decreases the
current. U208 provides a reference voltage. U206 is the
inverter amplifier. U103 is a comparator amplifier which
compares reference voltage and feedback voltage, and then
delivers to Q101, Q102, which then calibrates the output
voltage.
Overload
When the unit is overloaded, Q107 activates to control the
current magnitude of Q101, to limit the output current. The
relay control circuit controls the power dissipation in the
series-wound regulated circuit.
Background
The GPD-x303S series automatically switches between
constant voltage mode (CV) and constant current mode
(CC), according to load condition.
CV mode
When the current level is smaller than the output setting,
the GPD-x303S series operates in Constant Voltage mode.
The indicator on the front panel turns green (C.V.) The
Voltage level is kept at the setting and the Current level
fluctuates according to the load condition until it reaches
the output current setting.
CC mode
When the current level reaches the output setting, the
GPD-x303S series starts operating in Constant Current
mode. The indicator on the front panel turns red (C.C.) The
Current level is kept at the setting but the Voltage level
becomes lower than the setting, in order to suppress the
output power level from overload. When the current level
becomes lower than the setting, the GPD-x303S series goes
back to the Constant Voltage mode.
