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 main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured

Green/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, a 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 exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

GETTING STARTED

The PSB series are variable output, highperformance, regulated, switching DC power supplies. They incorporate a high-frequency current suppression circuit and accept input voltages rated from AC100V to 240V without the need to switch inputs. The offer a wide voltage and current range within their maximum rated power envelope. They also have a variable constant power function. They have standard features such as voltage and current settings, an output on/off switch, monitor outputs and other functions via external connectors. The chasis is smaller overall than traditional power supplies to reduce the total work area. The dual channel model and the booster unit extend the series to cover a wider range of applications. The PSB series are also able to execute sequence programs that are written using the optional interface boards.

The optional interface boards also allow you to control the PSB series remotely from a PC using GPIB, RS232C or USB.

Hi-Ω- Function

Introduction

The PSB-2000 series power supplies have filter capacitors connected to the output. The PSB-L power supplies also have a bleeder circuit to discharge these capacitors to a safe level when the output is turned off. When the Hi-Ω function is activated, the bleeder circuit is deactivated. This allows you to omit reverse-current preventing diodes that are necessary for charging batteries or capacitors when a bleeder circuit is active.

When the Hi-Ω function is activated, the internal filter capacitors can remain charged even after the power has been turned off and thus can be quite dangerous. As a safety measure, the bleeder circuits are programmed to turn back on after a predeterminded amount of time (5 ~ 30 minutes) after the output has been turned off.

Procedure

1. Press the MENU key until menu number ―03‖ is

displayed.

2. Press the ENTER / CHECK key to enter the Hi-Ω

function setting mode. Select ON or OFF with the encoder wheel. The Hi-Ω function is set to OFF by default.

Example: Timer set for 20 minutes.

5. Press the ESC / DISP key to quit the setting

mode and return to normal operation.

OPERATION

CAUTION

When the Hi-Ω function is activated, the output terminals of the power supply unit keep on carrying voltage even after the output is turned off. The Hi-Ω LED will blink when Hi-Ω function is still active as the internal capacitors remain charged. Voltages as high as 80V may remain at the terminals when the output is turned off. Such a state is very dangerous. To avoid accidents, isolate the output terminals from the load cables completely with a relay or switch.

Delay Function

Introduction

The delay function is available on the dual channel model (PSB-2400L2) only. It adds a rise and fall delay time to the output of channel 2 for a specified amount of time (in seconds) from a reference point (output of channel 1). The rise delay time refers to the delay time for turning the output on. The fall delay time refers to the delay time for turning the output off.

4. Set the rise delay time with the encoder wheel.

When a positive time is set, the output of channel 2 is delayed with respect to channel 1. On the contrary, when a negative time is set, the output of channel 2 leads that of channel 1. The delay time can be set in the range of -9.99 seconds to +10.00 seconds in steps 10 ms.

The output of channel 2 is turned on 9.99 seconds earlier

The output of channel 2 is turned on 10.00 seconds later.

5. Set the fall delay time with the encoder wheel, and

press the ENTER / CHECK key. The delay function setting is now complete.

The channel 2 output is turned off 9.99 seconds earlier

The channel 2 output is turned off 10.00 seconds later.

OPERATION

Introduction

The tracking function is available on the dual channel model (PSB-2400L2) only. When the tracking function is turned on, the output of channel 2 is made to match the output of channel 1, thus channel 2 can be said to ―track‖ channel 1. This effectively means that the values of both channels change simultaneously.

OPERATION

Description

The PSB-2000 series power supply units have an output voltage remote sensing function. This function eliminates influences of voltage drops between the power supply unit and load, which is caused by the contact resistance or the resistance of the load cable conductors. Voltage sense compensates for a voltage of up to 1V on a single terminal.

CAUTION

When the voltage sense function is used, the voltage at the front or rear terminals of the power supply unit must not exceed the rated voltage.

If the load cables are long, the inductance and the capacity of the load cables may cause oscillation. To avoid oscillation, connect an electrolytic capacitor of a several hundred to several thousand μF to the load terminals.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the POWER switch is off before

making any connections.

2. Disconnect the wire that shorts the + and +S

terminals or - and -S terminals on the fourterminal block on the left of the output terminals on the rear panel (this will need to be done for both channels on the PSB-2400L2).

3. Connect the positive sensing terminal (+S) to

the positive side of the load and the negative sensing terminal (-S) to the negative side of the load, as shown below. If the sensing wires are disconnected, control will become unstable and a voltage greater than the set voltage could be applied to the load. Connect the sensing wires

NOTE

Approximately 1mA of current flows through the sensing wires at the rated output voltage. Use AWG 26 to 18 wires as the sensing wires.

Introduction

The output voltage can be controlled by an external voltage or resistance through the J3 external connection (EXT CONT) on the rear panel if external control is selected.

CAUTION

The negative side of the external voltage is connected with the negative output terminal of the power supply unit. Have the external voltage source floating to avoid accidents or malfunctions. If the external resistor is disconnected for some reason when operating in the external control mode, an excessively-high voltage could be applied to the output. This occurs as a disconnected resistor appears as an open circuit, which in turn is interpreted as a resistance of 10kΩ. If fixed resistances are used, use shortingtype switches to switch between the fixed resistances to avoid open circuits.

The pins used for external voltage control or for external resistance control are the same. Check with control method is selected (external voltage or external resistance), before connecting the pins.

OPERATION

Description

The section ―Sequence Function‖ (page 60) shows how to execute a sequence program on the power supply when equipped with the optional interface board. The PSB_Sequence_203 software is used to create a program in advance via the optional interface board. See the Sequence Function section on page 60 for details. The PSB_Sequence_203 software can be downloaded at the GW Instek website.

Procedure

1. Write a sequence program through the

interface board. See page 60

2. Activate the sequence function as shown in the

Sequence Function menu on page 60.

3. Execute the sequence operation with the

PRESET key(s). Each PRESET key has two functions. The function of the PRESET keys and the OUTPUT key are different when used in the sequence mode compared to when they are in the normal operating mode.

Below is a description of the function of each of the preset keys and the OUTPUT key when in the sequence mode.

Description

The PSB Series power supply units are capable of frame link controlled parallel operation of up to four units(PSB-L), or up to 2 units (PSB-H) including the master unit. When performing parallel operation using master units, the master and slave units should be set properly in advance, see the Master-slave function chapter on page 70.

Connect the master and slave units with the optional parallel signal cables, PSB-005. The parallel connection kit for horizontal installation, PSB-003 or the parallel connection kit for vertical installation, PSB-004 can also be used to physically connect the units together. The joint kit, PSB-007, is included with the PSB-003 and PSB-004 connection kits. Use these kits as the necessity requires.

The sum of the master unit current and slave unit current is displayed on the master unit. See the specifications on page 155 for the displayed items and setting resolution for parallel operation.

Output depends on the master unit. When the OUTPUT key of the master unit is pressed, the outputs of the slave units are turned on automatically.

CAUTION

The PSB-2400L2 is not capable of parallel operation.

Frame Link Controlled Parallel Operation

(excluding PSB-2400L2)

OTHER FUNCTIONS

CAUTION

Improper wiring or settings may cause failures. Recheck the settings before starting frame control operation.

If the load cables of a slave unit are disconnected, excessive voltage is applied to the slave unit

instantaneously and a ―HArd‖ alarm occurs.

Check if the cables are connected properly. Repair improper connections. The master unit displays the total current. If the actual value is remarkably different from the set current and/or output current, improper power may possibly be set in the setting shown in the Master-slave function chapter on page 70. Recheck the set power.

When using frame link-controlled parallel operation, the current indicated on the master unit may fluctuate due to the influence of the load wire resistance. In such cases, use the optional connection kit, PSB-003 (Horizontal Installation Connection Kit), PSB-004 (Vertical Installation Connection Kit) or a low-impedance-load wire.

Use the PSB-2400L as the master unit when controlling the PSB-2400L and PSB-2800L using the the frame link control method.

The PSB-2800LS (booster unit) is especially designed to boost the power capacity when used in parallel. It is possible to increase the output up to a maximum of 3200W when used in parallel with a PSB-2800L as the master unit).

NOTE

Note that the PSB-2800LS cannot be used for series operation.

Fig. Front and Rear panel of PSB-2800LS

Description

The PSB-2800LS is not equipped with a power switch. The PSB-2800LS relies on a master unit to turn it on when it is connected in parallel. As soon as the master unit is turned on any connected PSB-2800LS power supply is also turned on (see page 70 for details).

In other words, the PSB-2800LS cannot be used alone. So before using the PSB-2800LS, check to make sure that the AC power cable, signal cables and load wires are connected properly. Improper wiring or settings may cause problems.
