GENERAL INFORMATION
TM11-6625-2958-14&P
Figure 1-1.
1-1 DESCRIPTION
1-2 This power supply, Figure 1-1, is completely
transistorized and suitable for either bench or relay
rack operation. It is a well-regulated, constant
voltage/constant current supply that will furnish
full rated output voltage at the maximum rated output current or can be continuously adjusted throughout the output range. The front panel CURRENT controls can be used to establish the output current
limit (overload or short circuit) when the supply is
used as a constant voltage source and the VOLTAGE
controls can be used to establish the voltage limit
(ceiling) when the supply is used as a constant current source. The supply will automatically cross
over from constant voltage to constant current oper-
ation and vice versa if the output current or voltage
exceeds these preset limits.
1-3 The power supply contains an added feature
for protection of delicate loads. A limit can be set
on the output voltage. If this limit is exceeded the
output will automatically be shorted.
DC Power Supply, Model 6259B, 6260B, 6261B, 6268B, or 6269B
1-4 The power supply has rear output terminals.
Either the positive or negative output terminal may
be grounded or the power supply can be operated
floating at up to a maximum of 300 volts above
ground.
1-5 Output voltage and current are continuously
monitored on two front panel meters.
1-6 TerminaIs located at the rear of the unit allow
access to various control points within the unit to
expand the operating capabilities of the power supply. A brief description of these capabilities is
given below:
a. Remote Programming. The power supply
output voltage or current may be programmed (con-
trolled) from a remote location by means of an external voltage source or resistarice.
b. Remote-Sensing. The degradation in regulation which occurs at the load due to voltage drop
in the load leads can be reduced by using the power supply in the remote sensing mode of operation.
c. Auto-Series Operation. Power supplies
1-1
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
may be used in series when a higher output voltage
is required in the constant voltage mode of opera-
t ion or when greater voltage compliance is required
in the constant current mode of operation. AutoSeries operation permits one-knob control of the
total output voltage from a “master” supply.
d. Auto-Parallel Operation. The power sup-
ply may be operated in parallel with a similar unit
when greater output current capability is required.
Auto-Parallel operation permits one-knob control of
the total output current from a “master” supply.
e. Auto-Tracking.The power supply may be
used as a “master” supply controlling one or more
“slave” supplies furnishing various voltages for a
system.

3-3 OPERATING MODES
3-4 The power supply is designed so that its mode
of operation can be selected by making strapping
connections between particular terminals on the terminal strip at the rear of the power supply. The terminal designations are stenciled in white on the
power supply below their respective terminals. The
following paragraphs describe the procedures for
utilizing the various operational capabilities of the
power supply. A more theoretical description concerning the operational features of this supply is
contained in Application Note 90, Power Supply
Handbook (available at no charge from your local
Hewlett-Packard sales office). Sales office addresses appear at the rear of the manual.
3-5 NORMAL OPERATING MODE
3-6 The power supply is normally shipped with
its rear terminal strapping connections arranged for
constant voltage/constant current, local sensing,
local programming, single unit mode of operation.
This strapping pattern is illustrated In Figure 3-2.
The operator selects either a constant voltage or a
constant current output using the front panel controls (local programming; no strapping changes are
necessary).
3-1
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
Figure 3-2.Normal Strapping Pattern
Clockwise rotation of the control produces higher
trip voltages. The factory sets the control fully
clockwise. The crowbar may be disabled completely if desired. (Refer to Paragraph 5-11 1.)
3-13 False crowbar tripping must be considered
when adjusting the trip point. If the trip voltage is
set too close to the operating output voltage of the
supply, a transient in the output will falsely trip
the crowbar. It is recommended that the crowbar be
set higher than the output voltage by 5% of the output voltage plus 2 volts. However, If occasional
crowbar tripping on unloading can be tolerated, the
crowbar trip point can be set much closer to the
operating out put voltage of the supply.
3-7 CONSTANT VOLTAGE
3-8 To select a constant voltage output, proceed
as follows:
a. Turn on power supply and adjust VOLTAGE
controls for desired output voltage with output terminals open.
b. Short circuit output terminals and adjust
CURRENT controls for maximum output current allowable (current limit), as determined by load conditions. If a load change causes the current limit
to be exceeded, the power supply will automatically cross over to constant current output at the preset current limit and the output voltage will drop
proportionately. In setting the current Iimit, allowance must be made for high peak currents which
can cause unwanted crossover. (Refer to Paragraph
3-60. )
3-9 CONSTANT CURRENT
3-10 To select a constant current output, proceed
as follows:
a. Short circuit output terminals and adjust
CURRENT controls for desired output current.
b. Open output terminals and adjust VOLT-
AGE controls for maximum output voltage allowable
(voltage limit ), as determined by load conditions.
If a load change causes the voltage limit to be exceeded, the power supply will automatically cross
over to constant voltage output at the preset volt-
age limit and the output current will drop propor-
tionately. In setting the voltage limit, allowance
must be made for high peak voltages which can
cause unwanted crossover. (Refer to Paragraph 3-60.)
3-14 CONNECTING LOAD
3-15 Each load should be connected to the power
supply output terminals using separate pairs of
connecting wires. This will minimize mutual coupling effects between loads and will retain full advantage of the low output impedance of the power
supply. Each pair of connecting wires should be as
short as possible and twisted or shielded to reduce
noise pickup. (If a shielded pair is used, connect
one end of the shield to ground at the power supply
and leave the other end unconnected.)
3-16 If load considerations require that the output
power distribution terminals be remotely located
from the power supply, then the power suppIy output terminals should be connected to the remote
distribution terminals via a pair of twisted or
shielded wires and each load should be separately
connected to the remote distribution terminals. For
this case, remote sensing should be used. (Refer
to Paragraph 3-4 1.)
3-17 Positive or negative voltages can be obtained
from this supply by grounding either one of. the out-
put terminals or one end of the load. Always use
two leads to connect the load to the supply, regardless of where the setup is grounded. This will eliminate any possibility of output current return paths
through the power source ground which would damage the line cord plug. This supply can also be
operated up to 300Vdc above ground, if neither output terminal is grounded.
3-18 NO LOAD OPERATION
3-11 OVERVOLTAGE TRIP POINT ADJUSTMENT
3-12 The crowbar trip voltage can be adjusted by
using the screwdriver control on the front panel.
The trip voltage range is as follows:
6259B, 6260B

3-19 When the supply is operated without a load,
down-programming speed is considerably slower
than in normal loaded operation. This slower programming speed is evident when using any method
of down-programming - either turning the VOLTAGE
controls fully counterclockwise, activating the
crowbar, or throwing the LINE circuit breaker to
OFF. Under any of these conditions, the supply
output will rapidly fall to approximately two volts,

then proceed at a slower rate towards zero. The
actual time required for the output to fall from two
volts to zero will vary from several seconds to
several minutes, depending upon which down-pro-
gramming method is used.
3-20 OPERATION BEYOND RATED OUTPUT
3-21 The shaded area on the front panel meter face
indicates the approximate amount of output voltage
or current that may be available in excess of the
normal rated output. Although the supply can be
operated in this shaded region without being dam-
aged, it cannot be guaranteed to meet all of its
performance specifications.

3-23 REMOTE PROGRAMMING, CONSTANT
VOLTAGE
3-24 The constant voltage output of the power
supply can be programmed (controlled) from a remote location if required. Either a resistance or
voltage source can be used as the programming
device. The wires connecting the programming
terminals of the supply to the remote programming
device should be twisted or shielded to reduce
noise pickup. The VOLTAGE controls on the front
panel are automatically disabled in the following
procedures.
3-26 The output voltage of the supply should be
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
-15mV ±5mV when zero ohms is connected across
the programming terminals. If a zero ohm voltage
closer to zero than this is required, it may be
achieved by inserting and adjusting R110 as discussed in Paragraph 5-83, or, if the instrument is
equipped with Option 020, by adjusting potentiome-
ter R113 as discussed in Paragraph 5-85.
3-27 To maintain the stability and temperature coefficient of the power supply, use programming resistors that have stable, low noise, and low temperature coefficient (less than 30ppm per degree
Centigrade) characteristics. A switch can be used
in conjunction with various resistance values in
order to obtain discrete output voltages. The switch
should have make-before-break contacts to avoid
momentarily opening the programming terminals during the switching interval.
3-25 Resistance Programming
(Figure 3-3). In this
mode, the output voltage will vary at a rate determined by the voltage programming coefficient of
200 ohms/volt. The programming coefficient is de-
termined by the programming current. This current
is factory adjusted to within 1% of 5mA. If greater
programming accuracy is required, it may be
achieved by either adjusting R3 as discussed in
Paragraph 5-88, or, if the instrument is equipped
with Option 020, by adjusting potentiometer R112
as discussed in Paragraph 5-89.

be used to set discrete values of output current. A
make-before-break type of switch should be used
since the output current will exceed the maximum
rating of the power supply if the switch contacts
open during the switching interval.

be used to control the constant current output of
the supply. The CURRENT controls on the front

CAUTION
If the programming terminals (A4 and
A 6) should open at any time during the
remote resistance programming mode,
the output current will rise to a value
that may damage the power supply
and/or the load. If, in the particular
programming configuration in use,
there is a chance that the terminals
might become open, it is suggested
that a 200 ohm resistor be connected
across the programming terminals.
Like the programming resistor, this
resistor should be a low noise, low
temperature coefficient type. Not e
that when this resistor is used, the
resistance value actually programming
the supply is the parallel combination
of the remote programming resistance

3-41 REMOTE SENSING (Figure 3-9)
3-42 Remote sensing is used to maintain good reg-
ulation at the load and reduce the degradation of
regulation which would occur due to the voltage
drop in the leads between the power supply and the
load. Remote sensing is accomplished by utilizing
the strapping pattern shown in Figure 3-9. The
Power supply should be turned off before changing
strapping paterns. The leads from the sensing (±S)
terminals to the load will carry much less current
than the load leads and it is not required that these
leads be as heavy as the load leads. However,
they must be twisted or shielded to minimize noise
pickup.

Remote Sensing
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
3-43 For reasonable load lead lengths, remote
sensing greatly improves the performance of the
supply. However, if the load is located a considerable distance from the supply, added precautions
must be observed to obtain satisfactory operation.
Notice that the voltage drop in the load leads subtracts directly from the available output voltage
and also reduces the amplitude of the feedback error signals that are deveIoped within the unit. Because of these factors it is recommended that the
drop in each load lead not exceed 0.5 volt. If a
larger drop must be tolerated, please consult an
HP Sales Engineer.
NOTE
Due to the voltage drop in the load
leads, it may be necessary to read-
just the current limit in the remote
sensing mode.
3-44 Observance of the precautions in Paragraph
3-43 will result in a low dc output impedance at
the load. However, another factor that must be
considered is the inductance of long load leads.
This causes a high ac Impedance and could affect
the stability of the feedback loop seriously enough
to cause oscillation. If this is the case, it is
recommended that the following actions be taken:
a. Adjust equalization control R47 to remove
oscillation, or to achieve best possible transient
response for given long load lead configuration.
Refer to Paragraph 5-27 for discussion of transient
response measurement.
b. If performing adjustment in step (a) above
does not remove oscillation, disconnect output
capacitor A3C3 and connect a capacitor having similar characteristics (approximately the same capacitance, the same voltage rating or greater, and
having good high frequency characteristics) directly across load using short leads. Readjust equalization control R47 as in step (a) above after making
this change. In order to gain access to capacitor
A3C3, it is necessary to remove the RFI assembly
as described in steps (a) through (c) of Paragraph
5-67. Lead from positive side of capacitor (shown
arrowed In Figure 7-2) can then be unsoldered from

Note that there may be more than one lead connected to the +S and -S terminals.

in an Auto-Parallel arrangement to obtain an output

ing or following paragraphs, use the following pro-

a. Remove the two external leads connecting

(±OUT).
b. Connect a lead from the +S terminal to the
positive side of the load, and connect another lead

current greater than that available from one supply.
Auto-Parallel operation permits equal current shar-
ing under all load conditions, and allows complete
control of the output current from one master power
supply. The output current of each slave will be
approximately equal to the master’s output current
regardless of the load conditions. Because the
output current controls of each slave are operative,
they should be set to maximum to prevent the slave
reverting to constant current operation; this would
OCCur if the master output current setting exceeded
the slave’s.
3-48 Additional slave supplies may be added in
parallel with the master/slave combination as
shown in the bottom half of Figure 3-10. All the
connections between the master and slave #1 are
duplicated between slave #1 and the added slave
supply. In addition, the strapping pattern of the
added slave should be the same as slave #1. Remote sensing and programming can be used, though
the strapping arrangements shown in Figure 3-10
show local sensing and programming.
3-49 Overvoltage protection is controlled by the
crowbar circuit in the master supply which monitors
the voltage acress the load and fires the SCR's in
both units if an overvoltage condition occurs. The
firing pulses are fed to the slave supply from trans-
former T90 (winding 5-6) of the master supply
through the “ EXT. CROWBAR TRIGGER
"
terminals on
the rear panel of the master supply. Correct polari-
ty must be observed in connecting the crowbars to-
gether. The overvoltage trip point is adjusted on
the master supply, The OVERVOLTAGE ADJUST potentiometer on the slave supply should be set to
maximum [clockwise) so that the master crowbar
will control the slave.
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
3-50 AUTO-SERIES OPERATION (Figure 3-11)
3-51 Two or more power supplies can be operated
in Auto-Series to obtain a higher voltage than that
available from a single supply. When this connection is used, the output voltage of each slave supply varies in accordance with that of the master
supply. At maximum output voltage, the voltage of
the slaves is determined by the setting of the front
panel VOLTAGE controls on the master. The master
supply must be the most positive supply of the
series. The output CURRENT controls of all series
units are operative and the current limit is equal to
the lowest control setting. If any of the output
CURRENT controls are set too low, automatic cross-
over to constant current operation will occur and
the output voltage will drop. Remote sensing and
programming can be used, though the strapping arrangements shown in Figure 3-11 show local sensing
and programming.

cient and stability specifications of the power supply, the external resistors (Rx) shown in Figure
3-11 should be stable, low noise, low temperature
coefficient (less than 30ppm per degree Centigrade)
resistors.
The value of each resistor is dependent
3-7
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
on the maximum voltage rating of the "master" sup-
ply. The value of R
is this voltage divided by the
X
voltage programming current of the slave supply
(1/Kp where K
P is the voltage programming coeffi-
cient). The voltage contribution of the slave is
determined by its voltage control setting.
3-53 Overvoltage protection is provided in AutoSeries operation by connecting the crowbars in parallel with correct polarity as in Auto-Parallel operation (see Paragraph 3-49). The OVERVOLTAGE AD-
JUST potentiometer in each supply should be adjust-
ed so that it trips at a point slightly above the output voltage that the supply will contribute.
3-54 When the center tap of an Auto-Series combination is grounded, coordinated positive and nega-
tive voltages result. This technique is commonly
referred to as “robber-banding” and an external
reference source may be employed if desired. Any
change of the internal or external reference source
(e.9. drift, ripple) will cause an equal percentage
change in the outputs of both the master and slave
supplies. This feature can be of considerable use
in analog computer and other applications, where
the load requires a positive and a negative power
supply and is less susceptible to an output voltage
change occurring simultaneously in both supplies
than to a change in either supply alone.
3-55 AUTO-TRACKING OPERATION (Figure 3-12)
3-56 The Auto-Tracking configuration is used when
several different voltages referred to a common bus
must vary in proportion to the setting of a particular
instrument (the control or master). A fraction of the
master’s output voltage is fed to the comparison
amplifier of the slave supply, thus controlling the
slave's output. The master must have the largest
output voltage of any power supply in the group. It
must be the most positive supply in the example
shown on Figure 3-12.
3-57 The output voltage of the slave (Es) is a percentage of the master's output voltage (EM), and is
determined by the voltage divider consisting of R
X
and the voltage control of the slave supply, Rp,
where E
S = EM [Rp/(R
+Rp)]. Remote sensing and
x
programming can be used (each supply senses at its
own load), though the strapping patterns given in
Figure 3-12 show only local sensing and program-
ming. In order to maintain the temperature coefficient and stability specifications of the power supply, the external resistors should be stable, low
noise, low temperature coefficient (less than 30ppm
per degree Centigrade) resistors.
3-58 The overvoltage protection circuit in each
unit is operable end independently monitors the
voltage across its own load. Notice that if the
master supply crowbars, the output voltage of

each slave will also decrease. However, the reverse is not true. If one of the slave units crowbars, the other supplies in *the ensemble will not
be affected.
3-59 SPECIAL OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
3-60 “PULSE LOADING
3-61 The power supply
will automatically cross
3-8
over from constant voltage to constant current operation, or the reverse, in response to an increase
(over the preset limit) in the output current or voltage, respectively. Although the preset limit may
be set higher than the average output current or
voltage, high peak currents or voltages (as occur
in pulse loading) may exceed the preset limit and
cause crossover to occur. If this crossover limiting is not desired, set the preset limit for the peak
requirement and not the average.
3-62 OUTPUT CAPACITANCE
3-63 An internal capacitor (A3C3) connected across
the output terminals of the power supply, helps to
supply high-current pulses of short duration during
constant voltage operation. Any capacitance added
externally will improve the
PUlSe current capability,
but will decrease the safety provided by the con-
stant current circuit. A high-current pulse may
damage load components before the average output
current is large enough to cause the constant cur-
rent circuit to operate.
3-64 The effects of the output capacitor during
constant current operation are as follows:
a. The output impedance of the power supply
decreases with increasing frequency.
b. The recovery time of the output voltage is
longer for load resistance changes.
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
c. A large surge current causing a high pow-
er dissipation in the load occurs when the load re-
sistance is reduced rapidly.
3-65 REVERSE VOLTAGE LOADING
3-66 A diode (A4CR106) is connected across the
output terminals.Under normal operation conditions, the diode is reverse biased (anode connected to the negative terminal). If a reverse voltage
is applied to the output terminals (
POSitive voltage
applied to the negative terminal), the diode will
conduct, shunting current across the output termi-
nals and limiting the voltage across the output
terminals to the forward voltage drop of the diode.
This diode protects the series transistors and the
output electrolytic capacitors.
3-67 REVERSE CURRENT LOADING
3-68 Active loads connected to the power supply
may actually deliver a reverse current to the power
supply during a portion of its operating cycle. An
external source cannot be allowed to pump current
into the supply without loss of regulation and possible damage to the output capacitor. To avoid
these effects, it is necessary to preload the supply
with a dummy load resistor so that the power supply
delivers current through the entire operation cycle
of the load device.

SECTION IV
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
Figure 4-1. Overall Block Diagram
4-1 OVERALL BLOCK DIAGRAM DISCUSSION
4-2 The major circuits of the power supply are
shown on the overall block diagram of Figure 4-1.
The ac input voltage is first applied to the preregulator triac which operates in conjunction with the
preregulator control circuit to form a feedback loop.
This feedback loop minimizes the power dissipated
by the series regulator by keeping the voltage drop
across the regulator at a low and constant level.
4-3 To accomplish this, the preregulator control
circuit issues a phase adjusted firing pulse to the
triac once during each half cycle of the input ac.
The control circuit continuously samples the output
voltage, the input line voltage (from A3T2), and the
voltage across the series regulator and, on the
basis of these inputs, determines at what time each
firing pulse is generated.
4-4 The phase adjusted output of the triac is ap-
plied to the power transformer where it is steppeddown and coupled to a full-wave rectifier and filter.
The preregulated dc current is applied next to the
series reguIator which varies its conduction to provide a regulated voltage or current at the output
terminals.
4-5 The series regulator is part of another feedback loop consisting of the error and driver amplifiers and the constant voltage/constant current
compactors. The series regulator feedback loop
provides rapid, low magnitude regulation of the output while the preregulator feedback loop handles
large, relatively slow, regulation demands.
4-1
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
4-6 The feedback signals controlling the conduction of the series regulator originate within the
constant voltage or constant current comparator.
During constant voltage operation the constant
voltage comparator continuously compares the output voltage of the supply with the drop across the
VOLTAGE controls.
If these voltages are not equal,
the comparator produces an amplified error signal
which is further amplified by the error amplifier and
then fed back to the series regulator in the correct
phase and amplitude to counteract the difference.
In this manner, the constant voltage comparator
helps to maintain a constant output voltage and
also generates the error signals necessary to set
the output voltage at the level established by the
VOLTA GE controls.
4-7 During constant current operation, the constant current comparator detects any difference be-
tween the voltage drop developed by the load current flowing through the current sampling resistor
and the voltage acress the CURRENT controls. If
the two inputs to the comparator are momentarily
unequal, an error signal is generated which (after
amplification) alters the conduction of the series
regulator by the amount necessary to reduce the
error voltage at the comparator input to zero.
Hence, the IR drop across the current sampling resistor, and therefore the output current, is main-
tained at a constant value.
4-8 Since the constant voltage comparator tends
to achieve zero output impedance and alters the
output current whenever the load resistance
changes, while the constant current comparator
causes the output impedance to be infinite and
changes the output voltage in response to any load
resistance change, it is obvious that the two com-
parison amplifiers cannot operate simultaneously.
For any-given value of load resistance, the power
supply must act either as a constant voltage source
or as a constant current source - it cannot be both.
4-9 Figure 4-2 shows the output characteristic of
a constant voltage/constant current power supply.
With no load attached (RL =

When a load resistance is applied to the output
terminals of the power supply, the output current
increases, while the output voltage remains constant; point D thus represents a typical constant
voltage operating point. Further decreases in load
resistance are accompanied by further increases in
OUT with no change in the output voltage until the
I
output current reaches Is, a value equal to the front
panel current control setting. At this point the supply automatically changes its mode of operation and
becomes a constant current source; still further
decreases in the value of load resistance are accompanied by a drop in the supply output voltage
with no accompanying change in the output current

value from 0 to
∞. If RL is greater than RC, the
C to be set to any desired
supply is in constant voltage operation, while if R
is less than RC, the supply is in constant current
operation.
4-11 The short circuit protection circuit (see Figure 4-1) protects the series regulator in the event
of a shorted output when the controls are set to a
high output voltage and current. The protection cir-
cuit monitors the voltage drop across the series
regulator. If the drop rises above a preset level,
the protection circuit limits the current through the
series regulator until the preregulator can reduce
the voltage across the series regulator. Once this
voltage returns to normal, the short circuit protection circuit is turned off and has no effect on normal operation of the supply.
4-12 The overvoltage protect ion crowbar monitors
the output of the supply, and if it exceeds a preset
(adjustable) threshold, fires an SCR which short
circuits the supply.
The circuit also sends a turn-
down signal to the preregulator control circuit.
4-13 The overvoltage limit circuit protects the main
rectifier diodes and filter capacitors from damage
that might occur if the series regulator transistors
were shorted or the voltage programming pot were
opened. The circuit monitors the output voltage of
L
4-2
the supply and, if it exceeds approximately 120%
of maximum rated output, sends a turn-down signal
to the preregulator control circuit. Hence, the out-
put voltage of the supply is limited to a “safe” value despite any possible failure in the series regu-
lator feedback loop.
4-14 The turn-on control circuit is a long time
constant network which allows the supply to
achieve a gradual turn-on characteristic. The slow
turn-on feature protects the preregulator triac and
the series regulator from damage which might occur
when ac power is first applied to the unit. At turnon, the control circuit sends inhibiting voltages to
the preregulator control circuit and the s cries regu-
lator (via the error and driver amplifiers). A short
time after the unit is in operation, the inhibiting
voltages are removed and the circuit no longer ex-
ercises any control over the operation of the supply.
4-15 The reference supply provides stable refer-
ence voltages used by the constant voltage and
current comparators. Less critical operating voltages are obtained from the bias supply.
4-16 DETAILED CIRCUIT ANALYSIS (See
Figure 7-11)
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
Figure 4-3.Triac Phase Control Over
AC Input Amplitude
4-17 PREREGULATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT
4-18 The preregulator minimizes changes in the
power dissipated by the series regulating transis tors due to output voltage or. input line voltage var-
iations. Preregulation is accomplished by means
of a phase control circuit utilizing triac A2CR1 as
the switching element.
4-19 In order to understand the operation of the
preregulator, it is important to understand the op-
eration of the triac. The triac is a hi-directional
device, that is, it can conduct current in either
direction. Hence, the device fires whenever it
receives a gating pulse regardless of the polarity
of the input a c that is applied to it. The triac is
fired once during each half-cycle (8.3 3 milliseconds) of the input ac (see Figure 4-3). Notice that
when the triac is fired at an early point during the
half-cycle, the ac level applied to the power transformer is relatively high. When the triac is fired
later during the half-cycle, the ac level is relatively low.
4-20 Normally the ac input signal must be at a
certain minimum potential before the triac will conduct. However, A2R1 and A2C1 provide a holding
current that allows the triac to conduct at any time
during the ac input cycle. RFI choke A2L1A/A2L1B
(in series with the triac) slows down the turn-on of
the triac in order to minimize spikes at the output
of the supply. Components A2CR1, A2R1, A2L1A/
A2L1B, and A2C1 are all mounted inside a shielded
box (assembly A2) to minimize radiated and reflected RFI. Further RFI suppression is provided by by-
pass capacitors C110 and C111.
4-21 The preregulator control circuit samples the
input line voltage, the output voltage, and the
voltage across the series regulator transistors. It
generates firing pulses, at the time required, to
fire the triac. This action maintains the ac input
voltage across the primary winding of T I at the desired level.
4-22 The inputs to the control circuit are algebra-
ically summed across capacitor C70. All inputs
contribute to the time required to charge C70. The
input line voltage is rectified by CR81, CR82, CR83,
and CR84, attenuated by voltage divider R86 and
R83, and applied to the summing point at the col -
lector of Q71 (TP81) via capacitor C70. Capacitor
C73 is used for smoothing purposes.
4-23 Transistor Q71, connected in a common base
configuration, provides a charging current for the
summing capacitor varying in accordance with the
input signals applied to its emitter. Resistor R78,
connected between the negative output line and the
emitter of Q71, furnishes a signal which is propor-
tional to the output voltage. Resistors R75 and R76
sample the voltage across, and the current through,
the series regulator. Capacitor C72 and resistor
R82 stabilize the entire preregulator feedback loop.
Resistors R70 and R80 are the source of a constant
offset current which sustains a net negative charg-

ing current to the summing point, ensuring that the
triac will fire at low output “voltages.
4-24 The summation of the input signals results
in the generation of a voltage waveform at TP80
similar to that shown in waveform (A) of Figure 4-4.
When the linear ramp portion of the waveform
reaches a certain negative threshold voltage, diodes CR74 and CR75 become forward biased. The
negative voltage is then coupled to the base of
transistor Q72. Transistors Q72 and Q73 form a
squaring circuit resembling a Schmitt trigger configuration. Q72 is conducting prior to firing time
due to the positive bias connected to its base
through R84, Transistor Q73 is cut off at this time
because its base is driven negative by the collector of Q72.
4-25 When the negative threshold voltage is
reached, transistor Q72 is turned off and Q73 is
turned on. The conduction of Q73 allows capacitor
C71 to discharge rapidly through pulse transformer
T70 resulting in the generation of a firing pulse
across the secondary winding of T70. As shown in
waveform (C) of Figure 4-4, the firing pulse is
quite narrow because Q73 saturates rapidly, causing
the magnetic field surrounding T70 to collapse. Diode CR76 damps out positive overshoot.
4-26 Reset of the control circuit occurs once every
8.33 milliseconds when the rectified ac voltage at
the junction of CR77, CR78, and CR79 (TP82) in-
creases to a level at which diode CR78 becomes
forward biased. Summing capacitor C70 is then al-
lowed to discharge through CR78. Diodes CR74 and
CR75 become reverse biased at reset and transistor
Q72 reverts to its “on” state. Consequently, Q73
is turned off and capacitor C71 charges up through
R79 at a comparatively slow rate until the collector
voltage of Q73 reaches approximately +11 volts.
The above action causes the small positive spike
that appears across the windings of pulse transformer at T70 at reset time.
4-27 SERIES REGULATOR AND DRIVER
4-28 The series regulator consists of transistors
A4Q103 through A4Q108 connected in parallel. The
transistors serve as the series or “pass” element
which provides precise and rapid control of the output. Resistors A4R150 through A4R155 allow high
output currents to be equally shared by the series
regulator transistors. The conduction of the series
transistors is controlled by signals obtained from
driver A4Q102, which is connected in a Darlington
configuration with the parallel-connected series
regulator transistors. Thermal switch A4TS101 opens
if the heat sink assembly temperature exceeds ap-
proximately 230°F, thus turning off the series regu-
lator transistors. This feature protects critical
components of the supply from excessive temperatures which could occur if cooling fan A4B1 failed.
Diode CR50 provides a discharge path for the out-
put capacitors when the supply is rapidly down-
programmed; R57 limits the discharge current flow-
ing through the diode and through error amplifier
A4Q101. Diode A4CR105, connected across the reg-
ulator circuit, protects the series elements from
reverse voltages that could develop across them
during parallel operation if one supply is turned on
before the other.

4-29 SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
4-30 This circuit acts to initially protect the series
regulator against a simultaneous full-voltage, full-
current conditions such as might occur if the output
were shorted when the controls were set to deliver
a high output voltage and current. Under this con-
dition, Q20 goes into heavy conduction due to the
increased voltage across the series regulator,
putting R26 in parallel with the current controls and
thus limiting the current to less than 10% of the
supply’s rating.
short circuit is imposed, the preregulator shuts off.
4-4
Within 10 milliseconds after the
The input capacitor then begins to discharge through
the series regulator, and the voltage across the
regulator decreases until Q20 turns off. The dis-
charge time (typically ½ to 4 seconds) depends on
the voltage and current ratings of the supply, the
main filter capacitor, and the control settings.
Once this recovery time has elapsed, the output
current will return to the level set by the current
controls, and the preregulator will return the volt-
age across the series regulator to the normal 3.5V
level, thus limiting the power dissipated by the
s cries regulator.
4-31 CONSTANT VOLTAGE COMPARATOR
4-32 This circuit consists of the programming re-
sistors (A5R121 and A5R122) and a differential am-
plifier stage (Z1 and associated components). An
integrated circuit is used for the differential amplifier to minimize differential voltages due to mismatched transistors and thermal differentials.
4-33 The constant voltage comparator continuously
compares the voltage drop across the VOLTAGE controls with the output voltage and, if a difference
exists, produces an error voltage whose amplitude
is proportional to this difference. The error signal
ultimately alters the conduction of the series regu-
lator which, in turn, alters the output current so
that the output voltage becomes equal to the voltage
drop across the VOLTAGE controls. Hence, through
feedback action, the difference between the two in-
puts to Z1 is held at zero volts.
during rapid down-programming; diodes CR5 and
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
CR6 prevent excessive voltage excursions from
over-driving the differential amplifier. Capacitor
C2 prevents the gain of the feedback loop from
changing during manipulation of the VOLTAGE controls. Resistor R2 limits the discharge current
through C2. Resistors Z2F, Z2M, and Z2N bias the
differential amplifier; diode CR4 provides temperature compensation.
4-36 During constant voltage operation, the pro-
gramming current flowing through the programming
resistors (VOLTAGE controls) is held constant be-
cause the value of shunt resistor R3 is factory
selected to allow all of the +6.2 volt reference to
be dropped across R3, R4, and RS. Linear constant
voltage programming is thus assured with a constant
current flowing through A5R121 and A5R122. If the
supply is equipped with Option 020, resistor R111
and potentiometer R 112 allow the programming current to be adjusted by varying the bias applied to
the summing point.
4-37 Main output capacitor A3C3 stabilizes the
series regulator feedback loop and helps supply
high-current pulses of short duration during con-
stant voltage pulse loading operation. An additional
output capacitor (C 19), connected directly across
the output bus bars, helps maintain a low ac output
impedance by compensating for the inductive react-
ance of the main output capacitor at high frequencies.
C19 also prevents any spikes in the output from
reaching the load.
4-34 One input of the differential amplifier (pin
10) is connected to the output voltage sensing ter-
minal of the supply (+S) through impedance equaliz-
ing resistor R23. Resistors R1 and optional resistor
R110 are used to zero bias the input. If the supply
is equipped with Option 020, resistor R114 and potentiometer R 113 provide a variable input bias that
allows the output voltage to be adjusted to exactly
zero volts when the supply is programmed for zero
output. The other input of the differential amplifier
(pin 1) is connected to a summing point (terminal
A2) at the junction of the programming resistors and
the current pullout resistors R3, R4, end R5. In-
stantaneous changes in the output voltage or
changes in the voltage at the summing point due to
manipulation of the VOLTAGE controls produce a difference voltage between the two inputs of the differential amplifier. This difference voltage is amplified and appears at the output of the differential
amplifier (pin 12) as an error voltage which ultimately varies the conduction of the series regulator.
4-3 S Resistor R6, in series with the summing-point
input to the differential amplifier, limits the current through the programming resistors during rapid
voltage turn-down. Diode CR7 prevents excessive
current drain from the +6.2 volt reference supply
4-38 CONSTANT CURRENT COMPARATOR
4-39 This circuit is similar in appearance and operation to the constant voltage comparator circuit.
It consists of the coarse and fine current controls
(A5R123 and A5R124) and a differential amplifier
stage (Z 1 and associated components). As in the
constant voltage comparator, an integrated circuit
is used for the differential amplifier to minimize
differential voltages due to mismatched transistors
and thermal differentials.
4-40 The constant current comparator circuit con-
tinuously compares the voltage drop across the
CURRENT controls with the voltage drop across the
current sampling resistor, A4R123. If a difference
exists, the differential amplifier produces an error
signal which is proportional to this difference.
The remaining components in the feedback loop
(mixer amplifier, error amplifiers, and the series
regulator) function to maintain the voltage drop
across the current sampling resistors, and hence
the output current, at a constant value.
4-41 One input of the differential amplifier (pin 7)
is connected to the output bus through impedance
equalizing resistor R20 and is zero-biased by R21
4-5
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
and optional resistor R 117. The other input of the
differential amplifier (pin 4) is connected to a summing point (terminal A6) at the junction of the programming resistors and the current pullout resistors
R30 and R31. Changes in the output current due to
load changes or changes in the voltage at the summing point due to manipulation of the CURRENT
controls produce a difference voltage between the
two inputs of the differential amplifier. This differ-
ence voltage is amplified and appears at the output
of the differential amplifier (pin 6) as an error voltage which ultimately varies the conduction of the
s cries regulator.
4-46 MIXER AND ERROR AMPLIFIERS
4-47 The mixer and error amplifiers amplify the
error signal from the constant voltage or constant
current input circuit to a level sufficient to drive
the series regulating transistors. Mixer amplifier
Q41 receives the error voltage input from either the
constant voltage or constant current comparator via
the OR-gate diode (CR1 or CR20) that is conducting
at the time. Diode CR1 is forward biased and CR20
reverse biased during constant voltage operation.
The reverse is true during constant current operation.
4-42 Resistor R30 serves as a trimming adjustment
for the programming current flowing through A5R123
and A5R124. If the supply is equipped with Option
021, resistor R115 and potentiometer R116 provide
a means of adjusting the programming current. As
in the constant voltage comparator circuit, a vari-
able input bias (from resistor R118 and potentiometer R119) is provided to allow the output current to
be adjusted to exactly zero when the supply is pro-
grammed for zero output. Diode CR21 limits exces-
sive voltage excursions at the summing-point input
to the differential amplifier.
4-43 VOLTAGE CLAMP CIRCUIT
4-44 The voltage clamp circuit keeps the constant
voltage programming current relatively constant
when the power supply is operating in the constant
current mode. This is accomplished by clamping
terminal A2, the voltage summing point, to a fixed
bias voltage. During constant current operation the
constant voltage programming resistors are a shunt
load acress the out put terminals of the power supply. When the output voltage changes, the current
through these resistors also tends to change. Since
this programming current flows through the current
sampling resistor, it is erroneously interpreted as
a load change by the current comparator circuit.
The clamp circuit eliminates this undesirable effect
by maintaining this programming current at a con-
stant level.
4-45 The voltage divider, Z2A, Z2B, and VR1, back
biases CR2 and Q1 during constant voltage operat ion. When the power supply goes into constant
current operation, CR2 becomes forward biased by
the voltage at pin 12 of Z 1. This results in conduction of Q1 and the clamping of the summing point at
a potential only slightly more negative than the
normal constant voltage potential. Clamping this
voltage at approximately the same potential that
exists in constant voltage operation results in a
constant voltage acress, and consequently a con-
stant current through, the current pullout resistors
R3, R4, and R5.
4-48 Transistor Q40 provides a constant current to
the collector of Q41 and also generates a negative
going turn-off signal for the series regulator when
the unit is first turned off. Feedback network C41,
R47, and R53 shapes the high frequency rolloff in
the loop gain response in order to stabilize the
series regulator feedback loop.
4-49 Error amplifiers Q42 and A4Q101 serve as the
predriver elements for the series regulator. In addition, transistor A4Q101 allows faster down-programming by providing a discharge path for output ca-
pacitors A3C3 and C19, and by supplying a bleed
current for the series regulator (thus keeping it in
its linear, active region) when the supply is set for
zero output current. Diode CR44, in the base cir-
cuit of transistor A4Q101, prevents the base from
going more negative than -3 volts. This action li-
mits the current through R57 to a relatively low
level, thus protecting A4Q101 from damage in the
event a voltage higher than the programmed output
voltage is placed across the output terminals (such
as might occur in Auto-Parallel or battery charging
applications).
4-50 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CROWBAR
4-51 The overvoltage protection circuit protects
delicate loads from high voltage conditions such
as might result from the failure of the series regu-
lator transistor. It accomplishes this by shorting
the output of the supply. Under normal operation
(no overvoltage), Q92 is conducting since CR91 is
reverse biased and Q91 is off. Thus no trigger
signal is received by SCR A4CR110 and it acts as
an open circuit, having no effect on normal output
voltage.
4-52 A5R125 (OVERVOLTAGE ADJUST) adjusts the
bias of Q92 with relation to -S. It establishes the
point at which CR91 becomes forward biased and
Q92 is turned off. Zener diode VR90 provides a
stable reference voltage with which the -S potential
is compared; R95 sets the upper crowbar trip limit.
When Q92 turns off, Q91 begins to conduct, send-
ing a positive going trigger pulse to A4CR110,
causing it to create a near short circuit across the
4-6
output. When A4CR110 is fired, overvoltage lamp
A5DS2 is tuned on, completing a path for a + 11V
unregulated holding current through A5DS2. This
current holds A4CR110 on even after the output
voltage has fallen. A4 CR110 will remain in conduc-
tion until the supply is turned off. R92 supplies the
holding current if lamp A5DS2 should open. R106
protects A4CR108 and A4CR110 from the large surge
current that occurs when A4CR110 is first fired.
CR93 damps out positive overshoot in the trigger
pulse.
4-53 The firing of SCR A4CR110 biases Q90 into
conduction, placing approximately +11 volts on the
cathode of CR74 in the preregulator control circuit
and thus reverse biasing CR74 and CR75. This
action, by preventing transistor Q 72 from turning
off, prevents the generation of any trigger pulses
and turns off the preregulator. This prevents the
series regulator from experiencing a full-voltage,
full-current condition.
4-54 The crowbar circuit creates an extra current
path during normal operation of the supply, thus
changing the current that flows through the sampling resistor. Diode CR92 keeps this extra current
at a fixed level for which compensation can then be
made in the constant current comparator circuit.
4-55 A slaving arrangement of crowbar circuits in
more than one unit is made possible by an extra
secondary winding (terminals 5 and 6) on transfor-
mer T90. Terminals on the rear barrier strip (±EXT.
CROWBAR TRIGGER) allow easy connection to this
winding. Connecting these windings in parallel
when operating in a multiple-supply configuration
will result in all the crowbars being activated if
one of the crowbars is tripped. To reset the crowbars in this arrangement, all of the units must be
turned off and then on. Correct polarity must be
observed when connecting the windings in parallel.
Figures 3-10 and 3-11 (Auto-Parallel and Auto-
Series ) demonstrate these connections.
4-56 TURN-ON CONTROL CIRCUIT
4-57 This circuit is a long time-constant network
which protects the triac and the series regulator
from possible damage during turn-on. When the
supply is first tuned on, C35 provides a positive
voltage to the anodes of CR35 and CR36. The voltage from CR35 is connected to the cathode of diode
CR74 in the preregulator control circuit to ensure
that it is initially reverse biased. After C35 be-
comes sufficiently charged, diode CR35 becomes
reverse biased and the preregulator control circuit
is permitted to fire the triac.
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
plied to the series regulator. This negative voltage
keeps the regulator cut off untill C35 charges up.
Diode CR37 provides a discharge path for C35 when
the supply is turned off.
4-59 REFERENCE REGULATOR
4-60 The reference circuit is a feedback power
supply similar to the main supply. It provides
stable reference voltages used throughout the unit.
AH the reference voltages are derived from dc obtained from full wave rectifier CR61-CR62 and filter
capacitor C61. The total output of the reference
circuit is 18.6V. Zener diodes VR60 and VR61 establish moderately well regulated potentials of
+6.2V and -6.2V respectively from the common point
+S, while the regulator circuit establishes a very
well regulated potential of +12.4 volts from +S.
Resistor R63 limits the current through the Zener
diodes to establish an optimum bias level.
4-61 The regulating circuit consists of s cries regulating transistor Q60, driver Q61, and differential
amplifier Q62 and Q63. The voltage across Zener
diode VR60 (+6.2 volts with respect to +S) and the
voltage at the junction of divider Z2L-R69B and Z2J
are compared, and any difference is amplified by
Q 62 and Q63. The error voltage thus appearing at
the collector of Q62 is amplified by driver stage
Q61 and applied to series regulator Q60 in the correct phase and amplitude to maintain the +12.4 volt
output at a constant level.
4-62 Diode CR60, connected from voltage divider
R66 and R67 to the base of Q61, serves as a turnon circuit for series regulator transistor Q60. When
the supply is first turned on, CR60 biases driver
Q61 on, thus turning on the series regulator. When
the reference supply reaches normal output, the
base voltage of Q61 is sufficient to reverse bias
CR60, thus effectively removing it from the circuit.
Capacitor C60, connected across the output of the
reference supply, removes spikes and stabilizes
the reference reguIator loop.
4-63 Unregulated 11Vdc is supplied from a separate winding on transformer A3T2 by diodes CR53
and CR54 and filter capacitor C44. Additional lightly regulated reference voltages of -4V and -2.4V are
provided by diodes CR45-CR46 and CR47-CR48-CR49
respectively. Diode CR43 prevents reverse current
flow from damaging the main supply series reguIator
transistors. Diode CR7, shown in the schematic
near the current pullout resistors (R3, R4, and RS),
protects the Zener diodes in the reference circuit
by providing a path for surge currents which occur
during rapid down programming.
4-58 Diode CR36 performs a similar function for
the series regulator. CR36 initially couples a pos-
itive voltage to Q41 where it is inverted and ap-

tions of output voltage and current on the dc voltmeter and ammeter. Both meter movements can
withstand an overload of many times the maximum
rated output without damage.
4-66 The ammeter together with its series resistors
(R101, R105) is connected across current sampling
resistor A4R123. As mentioned previously, the
voltage drop across the current sampling resistor
varies in proportion to the output current.
Potenti-
ometer R101 is adjusted for full scale deflection
(calibration) of the ammeter.
4-67 The voltmeter, in series with R103 and R104
and shunted by R102 and R106, is connected directly across the output terminals of the supply. Poten-
tiometer R106 permits calibration of the voltmeter.
4-68 ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FEATURES
4-69 The supply contains several “special pur-
pose” components which protect the supply in the
event of unusual circumstances. One of these
components is diode A4CR106. Connected across
the output terminals of the supply, it prevents internal damage from reverse voltages that might be
applied across the supply. This could occur, fo
r
example, during Auto-Series operation if one supply was turned on before the other.
4-70 Resistors R108 and R109 limit the output of
the supply if the connections between both output
buses and the sensing terminals (+S and -S) are inadvertently removed.
4-71 Diode A4CR105, previously mentioned in the
series regulator description, protects the regula-
ting transistor from the effects of reverse voltages.

ples of satisfactory null detectors are:
419A null detector, a dc coupled
oscilloscope utilizing differential input, or a 50mV meter movement with a
100 division scale. For the latter, a
2mV change in voltage will result in a
meter deflection of four divisions.
5-8 If maximum accuracy is to be obtained in the
following measurements, the measuring devices
must be connected as close to the output terminals
as possible. This is particularly important when
measuring the transient response, regulation, or
ripple of the power supply. A measurement made
across the load includes the impedance of the leads
to the load and such lead lengths can easily have
an impedance several orders of magnitude greater
than the supply impedance, thus invalidating the
measurement.

Care must be exercised to avoid ground
loops and circulating currents when
using an electronic null detector in
which one input terminal is grounded.
5-9 To avoid mutual coupling effects, each monitoring device must be’ connected to the output terminals by a separate pair of leads. Twisted pairs
or shielded two-wire cables should be used to avoid
pickup on the measuring leads. The load resistor
should be connected across the output terminals as
close to the supply as possible. When measuring
the constant voltage performance specifications, the
current controls should be set well above (at least
10%) the maximum output current which the supply
will draw, since the onset of constant current
action will cause a drop in output voltage, increased
ripple, and other performance changes not properly
ascribed to the constant voltage operation of the
supply .

wire between the negative output terminal of the
power supply and the vertical input of the scope,
and the grounded scope case. Any ground current
circulating in this loop as a result of the difference
in potential EG between the two ground points
causes an IR drop which is in series with the scope
input. This IR drop, normally having a 60Hz line
frequency fundamental, plus any pickup on the un-
shielded leads interconnecting the power supply
and scope, appears on the face of the CRT. The
magnitude of this resulting noise signal can easily
be much greater than the true ripple developed between the plus and minus output terminals of the
power supply, and can completely invalidate the
measurement.
5-18 The same ground current and pickup problems
can exist if an RMS voltmeter is substituted in
place of the oscilloscope in Figure 5-3. However,
the oscilloscope display, unlike the true RMS
meter reading, tells the observer immediately
whether the fundamental period of the signal dis-
played is 8.3 milliseconds (1/120 Hz) or 16.7 milli-
seconds (1/60 Hz). Since the fundamental ripple
frequency present on the output of an
120Hz (due to full-wave rectification), an oscilloscope display showing a 120Hz fundamental com-
ponent is indicative of a “clean” measurement setup, while the presence of a 60Hz fundamental
usually means that an improved setup will result in
a more accurate (and lower) value of measured rip-
ple.

5-19 Although the method shown in Figure 5-3A is
not recommended for ripple measurements, it may
prove satisfactory in some instances provided certain precautionary measures are taken. One meth-
od of minimizing the effects of ground current (IG)
flow is to ensure that both the supply and the test
instrument are plugged into the same ac power
buss.
5-20 To minimize pick up, a twisted pair or (preferably) a shielded two-wire cable should be used
to connect the output terminals of the power supply
to the vertical input terminals of the scope. When
using a twisted pair, care must be taken that one
of the two wires is connected both to the grounded
terminal of the power supply and the grounded input
terminal of the oscilloscope. When using shielded
two-wire cable, it is essential for the shield to be
connected to ground at one end only to prevent any
ground current flowing through this shield from inducing a signal in the shielded leads.
5-21 To verify that the oscilloscope is not displaying ripple that is induced in the leads or picked up from the grounds, the (+) scope lead should
be shorted to the (-) scope lead at the power sup-
ply terminals.

actual ripple measurement.
5-22 If the foregoing measures are used, the
single-ended scope of Figure 5-3A may be adequate
to eliminate non-real components of ripple so that
a satisfactory measurement can be obtained. However, in stubborn cases or in measurement situations where it is essential that both the power supply case and the oscilloscope case be connected
to ground (e. g. if both are rack-mounted), it may
be necessary to use a differential scope with
floating input as shown in Figure 5-3B. If desired,
two single-conductor shielded cables may be substituted in place of the shielded two-wire cable
with equal success.
Ripple Test Setup
5-4
Because of its common mode rejection, a differen-
tial oscilloscope displays only the difference in
signal between its two vertical input terminals,
thus ignoring the effects of any common mode sig-
nal produced by the difference in the ac potential
between the power supply case and scope case.
Before using a differential input scope in this man-
ner, however, it is imperative that the common
mode rejection capability of the scope be verified
by shorting together its two input leads at the pow-
er supply and observing the trace on the CRT. If
this trace is a straight line, then the scope is pro-
perly ignoring any common mode signal present. If
this trace is not a straight line, then the scope is
not rejecting the ground signal and must be realign-
ed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions until proper common mode rejection is attain-
ed.
5-23 To check the ripple output, proceed as fol-
lows :
a. Connect oscilloscope or RMS voltmeter
as shown in Figures 5-3A or 5-3B.
b. Turn CURRENT controls fully clockwise.
c. Adjust VOLTAGE controls until front panel
meter indicates maximum rated output voltage.
d. The observed ripple should be less than
the following:

1mVrms and 5mV p-p
5-24 Noise Spike Measurement. When a high fre-
quency spike measurement is being made, an in-
strument of sufficient bandwidth must be used; an
oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 20 MHz or more is
adequate. Measuring noise with an instrument that
has insufficient bandwidth may conceal high frequency spikes detrimental to the load.
5-25 The test setup illustrated in Figure 5-3A
is generally not acceptable for measuring spikes;
a differential oscilloscope is necessary. Further-
more, the measurement concept of Figure 5-3B
must be modified if accurate spike measurement
is to be achieved
1. As shown in Figure 5-4, tw
O coax cables
must be substituted for the shielded two-wire cable.
2. Impedance matching resistors must be in-
cluded to eliminate standing waves and cable ringing, and capacitors must be inserted to block the
dc current path.
3. The length of the test leads outside the
coax is critical and must be kept as short as possible; the blocking capacitor and the impedance
matching resistor should be connected directly from
the inner conductor of the cable to the power supply
terminals.
4. Notice that the shields of the power supply end of the two coax cables are not connected to
the power supply ground, since such a connection
would give rise to a ground current path through the
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
Figure 5-4.Noise Spike Measurement Test Setup
coax shield, resulting in an erroneous measurement.
5. Since the impedance matching resistors
constitute a 2-to-1 attenuator, the noise spikes
observed on the oscilloscope should be less than
2.5mV p-p instead of 5mV p-p.
5-26 The circuit of Figure 5-4 can also be used for
the normal measurement of low frequency ripple:
simply remove the four terminating resistors and
the blocking capacitors and substitute a higher gain
vertical plug-in in place of the wide-band plug-in
required for spike measurements. Notice that with
these changes, Figure 5-4 becomes a two-cable
version of Figure 5-3B.
5-27 Transient Recovery Time.
Definition: The time "X" for the output
voltage recovery to within "Y" millivolts
of the nominal output voltage following a
"Z" amp step change in load current,
where: "Y" is specified as 10mV, the
nominal output Voltage is defined as the
dc level ‘halfway between the static out-
put voltage before and after the imposed
load change, and "Z" is the specified
load current change of S amps or the full
load current rating of the supply, which-
ever is less.
5-28 Transient recovery time may be measured at
any input line voltage combined with any output
voltage and load current within rating,
5-29 Reasonable care must be taken in switching
the load resistance on and off. A ha rid-operated
s-s
TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
switch in series with the load is not adequate,
since the resulting one-shot displays are difficult
to observe on most oscilloscopes, and the arc
energy occurring during switching action completely
masks the display with a noise burst. Transistor
load switching devices are expensive if reasonably
rapid load current changes are to be achieved.
5-30 A mercury-wetted relay, as connected in the
load switching circuit of Figure 5-5 should be used
for loading and unloading the supply. When this
load switch is connected to a 60Hz ac input, the
mercury-wetted relay will open and close 60 times
per second. Adjustment of the 25K control permits
adjustment of the duty cycle of the load current
switching and reduction in jitter of the oscilloscope
display.
5-31 The load resistances shown in Figure 5-5 are
the minimum resistances that must be used in order
to preserve the mercury-wetted relay contacts.
Switching of larger load currents can be accomplished with mercury pool relays; with this tech-
nique fast rise times can still be obtained, but the
large inertia of mercury pool relays limits the maximum repetition rate of load switching and makes
the clear display of the transient recovery characteristic on oscilloscope more difficult.
5-32 To check the transient recovery time, pro-
ceed as follows:
a. Connect test setup shown in Figure 5-5.
b. Turn CURRENT controls fully clockwise.
c. Turn on supply and adjust VOLTAGE controls until front panel ammeter indicates 5 amps
output current.
d. Close line switch on repetitive load
switch setup.
e. Set oscilloscope for internal sync and
lock on either positive or negative load transient
spike.
f. Set vertical input of oscilloscope for ac
coupling so that small dc level changes in power
supply output voltage will not cause display to
shift.
g. Adjust the vertical centering on the scope
so that the tail ends of the no load and full load
waveforms are symmetrically displayed about the
horizontal center line of the oscilloscope. This
center line now represents the nominal output voltage defined in the specification.
h. Adjust the horizontal positioning control
so that the trace starts at a point coincident with a
major graticule division. This point is then repre-
sentative of time zero.
i.Increase the sweep rate so that a single
transient spike can be examined in detail.
j. Adjust the. sync controls separately for
the positive and negative going transients so that
not only the recovery waveshape but also as much
as possible of the rise time of the transient is dis-
played.
k. Starting from the major graticule division
representative of time zero, count to the right 50µ-
sec and vertically 10mV. Recovery should be with-
in these tolerances as illustrated in Figure 5-6.

5-33 Temperature Coefficient.
Definition: The change in output voltage per degree Centigrade change in
the ambient temperature under conditions of constant input ac line voltage,
output voltage setting, and load re-
sistance.
5-34 The temperature coefficient of a power supply
is measured by placing the power supply in an oven
and varying it over any temperature span within its
rating. (Most HP power supplies are rated for oper-
ation from 0°C to 55°C.) The power supply must be
allowed to thermally stabilize for a sufficient period
of time at each measurement temperature.
5-35 The temperature coefficient given in the specifications is the maximum temperature-dependent
output voltage change which will result over any one
degree Centigrade interval. The differential voltmeter or digital voltmeter used to measure the output voltage change of the supply should be placed
outside the oven and should have a long term stability adequate to insure that its drift will not affect
the overall measurement accuracy.
5-36 To check the temperature coefficient, pro-
ceed as follows:
a. Connect load resistance and differential
voltmeter as illustrated in Figure 5-2.
b. Turn CURRENT controls fully clockwise.
c. Adjust front panel VOLTAGE controls until

e. Record differential voltmeter reading.
f. Raise temperature to 40°C and allow 30

g. Observe differential voltmeter reading.
Difference in voltage reading between Step (e) and

Qutput Stability.

Definition: The change in output voltage
for the first eight hours following a 30-
minute warm-up period. During the in-
terval of measurement all parameters,
such as load resistance, ambient temp-
erature, and input line voltage are held
constant.
5-38 This measurement is made by monitoring the
output of the power supply on a differential voltmeter or digital voltmeter over the stated measurement
interval; a strip chart recorder can be used to

TM 11-6625-2958-14&P
provide a permanent record. A thermometer should
be placed near the supply to verify that the ambi-
ent temperature remains constant during the period
of measurement. The supply should be put in a lo-
cation immune from stray air currents (open doors
or windows, air conditioning vents); if possible,
the supply should be placed in an oven which is
held at a constant temperature. Care must be taken
that the measuring instrument has a stability over
the eight hour interval which is at least an order of
magnitude better than the stability specification of
the power supply being measured. Typically, a
supply may drift Iess over the eight hour measure-
ment interval than during the half-hour warm-up.
5-39 To check the output stability, proceed as
follows :
a. Connect load resistance and differential
voltmeter as illustrated in Figure 5-2.
b. Turn CURRENT controls fully clockwise.
c. Adjust front panel VOLTAGE controls until
differential voltmeter indicates maximum rated out-
put voltage.
d. Allow 30 minutes warm-up, then record
differential voltmeter reading.

change from reading recorded in Step (d) by less
then the following:

5-40 CONSTANT CURRENT TESTS
5-41 The instruments, methods, and precautions
for the proper measurement of constant current pow-
er supply characteristics are for the most part iden-
tical to those already described for the measurement
of constant voltage power supplies. There are,
however, two main differences: first, the power
supply performance will be checked between short
circuit and full load rather than open
load. Second, a current monitoring resistor is in-
serted between the output of the power supply and
the load.
5-42 For all output current measurements the cur-
rent sampling resistor must be treated as a four
terminal device. In the manner of a meter shunt,
the load current is fed to the extremes of the wire
leading to the resistor while the sampling terminals
are located as close as possible to the resistance
portion itself (see Figure 5-7). Generally, any current sampling resistor should be of the low noise,
low temperature coefficient (Iess then 30ppm/°C)
type and should be used at no more than 5% of its
rated power so that its temperature rise will be
minimized, If difficulty is experienced in obtaining
a low resistance, high current resistor suitable for
current sampling, a duplicate of the sampling resistor used in this unit (A4R123 or A4R123A-A4R123B)

5-51 TROUBLESHOOTING
5-52 Before attempting to troubleshoot this instrument, ensure that the fault is with the instrument
and not with an associated circuit. The perform-
ance test (Paragraph 5-5) enables this to be determined without having to remove the instrument from
the cabinet.
5-53 A good understanding of the principles of operation is a helpful aid in troubleshooting, and it
is recommended that the reader review Section IV
of the manual before attempting to troubleshoot the
unit in detail. Once the principles of operation are
understood, refer to the overall troubleshooting
procedures in Paragraph S-S 6 to locate the symptom
and probable cause.
5-54 The schematic diagram at the rear of the
manual (Figure 7-11) contains normal voltage read-
ings taken at various points within the circuits.
These voltages are positioned adjacent to the applicable test points (identified by encircled numbers). The component location diagrams (Figures
7-1 through 7-8, and Figure 7-10) at the rear of the
manual should be consulted to determine the location of components and test points.
5-55 If a defective component is located, replace
it and re-conduct the performance test. When a
component is replaced, refer to the repair and replacements (Paragraph 5-71) and adjustment and
calibration (Paragraph 5-73) sections of this manual

tenance operationsfor the PP-7545/U. It
authorizes categories of maintenance for specific
maintenance functions on repairable items and
components and the tools and equipment required
to perform each function. This appendix may
be used as an aid in planning maintenance operations.
D-2. Maintenance Function
Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows:
a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an
item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/
or electrical characteristics with established standards through examination.
b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detect
incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or
electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.
c. Service. Operations required periodically to
keep an item in proper operating conditions, i.e.,
to clean (decontaminate), to preserve, to drain,
to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic
fluids, or compressed air supplies.
d. Adjust To maintain, within prescribed limits,
by bringing into proper or exact position, or by
setting the operating characteristics to the speci-
fied parameters.
e. Align To adjust specified variable elements
of an item to bring about optimum or desired
performance.
f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections
to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or
test measuring and diagnostic equipments used
in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of which is a certified
standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust
any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument
being compared.
g. install. The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position an item, part, module (component or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper
functioning of the equipment or system.
h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable
like type part, subassembly, or module (component
or assembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.
i. Repair. The application of maintenance services (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate,
replace) or other maintenance actions (welding,
grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfacing) to restore serviceability
to an item by correcting, specific damage, fault,
malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly,
module (component or assembly), end item, or
system.
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/
action) necessary to restore an item to a completely serviceable/operational condition as prescribed
by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in appropriate technical publications. Overhaul is normally
the highest degree of maintenance performed by
the Army. Overhaul does not normally return an
item to like new condition.
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services actions
necessary for the restoration of unserviceable
equipment to a like new condition in accordance
with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild
is the highest degree of materiel maintenance
applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation
includes the act of returning to zero those age
measurements (hours, miles, etc. ) considered in
classifying Army equipments/components.

lists the functions to be performed on the item
listed in column 2. When items are listed without
maintenance functions, it is solely for purpose
of having the group numbers in the MAC and
RPSTL coincide.
d. Column 4, Maintenance Category. Column 4
specifies, by the listing of a “worktime” figure in
the appropriate subcolumn (s), the lowest level of
maintenance authorized to perform the function
listed in column 3. This figure represents the active time required to perform that maintenance
function at the indicated category of maintenance.
If the number or complexity of the tasks within
the listed maintenance function vary at different
maintenance categories, appropriate “worktime”
figures will be shown for each category. The num-
ber of task-hours specified by the “worktime”
figure represents the average time required to
restore an item (assembly, subassembly, compo-
nent, module, end item or system) to a serviceable
condition under typical field operating conditions.
This time includes preparation time, troubleshooting time, and quality assurance/quality control
time in addition to the time required to perform
