Background
The 2260B power supplies are regulated DC
power supplies with a high voltage and current
output. These operate in CC (Constant voltage)
or CV(Constant voltage) mode within a wide
operating range limited only by the output
power.
The operating area of each power supply is
determined by the rated output power as well
as the voltage and current rating. For example,
the operating area and rated power output for
the 2260B-30-36 is shown below.

When the power supply is configured so that
the total output (current x voltage output) is
less than the rated power output, the power
supply functions as a typical constant current,
constant voltage power supply.
If however, the power supply is configured
such that the total output (current x voltage

CC and CV mode
Description
When the power supply is operating in
constant current mode (CC) a constant current
will be supplied to the load. When in constant
current mode the voltage output can vary,
while the current remains constant. When the
load resistance increases to the point where the
current limit (I
SET
) can no longer be sustained
the power supply switches to CV mode. The
point where the power supply switches modes
is the crossover point.
When the power supply is operating in CV
mode, a constant voltage will be supplied to
the load, while the current will vary as the load
varies. At the point that the load resistance is
too low to maintain a constant voltage, the
power supply will switch to CC mode and
maintain the set current limit.
The conditions that determine whether the
power supply operates in CC or CV mode
depends on the set current (I
SET
), the set voltage
(V
SET
), the load resistance (RL) and the critical
resistance (RC). The critical resistance is
determined by V
SET/ISET
. The power supply
will operate in CV mode when the load
resistance is greater than the critical resistance.
This means that the voltage output will be
equal to the V
SET
voltage but the current will be
less than I
SET
. If the load resistance is reduced
to the point that the current output reaches the
I
SET
level, the power supply switches to CC
mode.
CC and CV Mode
20

Conversely the power supply will operate in
CC mode when the load resistance is less than
the critical resistance. In CC mode the current

Theory
The 2260B has selectable slew rates for CC and
CV mode. This gives the 2260B power supply
the ability to limit the current/voltage draw of
the power supply. Slew rate settings are
divided into High Speed Priority and Slew
Rate Priority. High Speed Priority mode
disables slew rate settings for CC or CV mode.
Slew Rate Priority mode allows for user
adjustable slew rates for CC or CV mode. The
rising and falling slew rate can be set
independently.

may remain charged on the filter capacitors for
some time and be potentially hazardous.
In addition, bleed resistors also allow for
smoother voltage regulation of the power
supply as the bleed resistor acts as a minimum
voltage load.
The bleed resistance can be turned on or off
using the configuration settings.
Note
By default the bleed resistance is on. For battery
charging applications, be sure to turn the bleed
resistance off as the bleed resistor can discharge
the connected battery when the unit is off.
Background
On the 2260B, the internal resistance of the
power supply can be user-defined in software.
(Internal Resistance Setting, page 87). When the
internal resistance is set it can be seen as a
resistance in series with the positive output
terminal. This allows the power supply to
simulate power sources that have internal
resistances such as lead acid batteries.

Power Switch Trip
When the Power Switch Trip configuration
setting is enabled, the power supply will
automatically shut down when a protection
setting has been tripped (OCP, OVP, OTP).
Alarm output
Alarms are output via the analog control
connector. The alarm output is an isolated
open-collector photo coupler output.
Alarms
The 2260B power supplies have a number of protection features.
When one of the protection alarms are set, the ALM icon on the
display will be lit. For details on how to set the protection modes,
please see page 43.

GETTING STARTED
Inrush current
When the power supply switch is first turned
on, an inrush current is generated. Ensure there
is enough power available for the power
supply when first turned on, especially if a
number of units are turned on at the same
time.
Caution
Allow at least 15 seconds between cycling the
power. Cycling the power on and off quickly can
cause the inrush current limiting circuit to fail as
well as reduce the working life of the input fuse
and power switch.
Pulsed or Peaked
loads
When the load has current peaks or is pulsed, it
is possible for the maximum current to exceed
the mean current value. The 2260B power
supply ammeter only indicates mean current
values, which means for pulsed current loads,
the actual current can exceed the indicated
value. For pulsed loads, the current limit must
be increased, or a power supply with a greater
capacity must be chosen. As shown below, a
pulsed load may exceed the current limit and
the indicated current on the power supply
ammeter.
Considerations
The following situations should be taken into consideration when
using the power supply.

Parallel / Series Operation
This section describes the basic operations required to operate the
power supply in series or parallel. Operating the 2260B power
supplies in parallel increases the total power output of the power
supply units. When used in series, the total output voltage of the
power supplies can be increased.
The number of the power supplies that can be connected in series
or parallel depends on the model and the mode:
Series Mode: 2 units maximum
Parallel Mode: 3 units maximum
To use the power supplies in series or parallel, units must be used
in a Master-Slave configuration. In the master-slave configuration a
“master” power supply controls any other connected “slave”
power supplies.

Background
When connecting the 2260B power supplies in
parallel, up to 3 units can be used in parallel
and all units must be of the same model.
When the units are used in parallel, a number
of precautions and limitations apply. Please
read this overview before operating the power
supplies in parallel.

OVP/ OCP
The master unit can shut down slave units
when OVP/OCP is tripped on the master
unit (if the slave connector is wired for shut
down on alarm).
OVP/OCP can be independently tripped on
each slave unit, however the shutdown of the
power or output of the unit is disabled. Only
the alarm will be enabled.
Remote monitoring
Voltage monitoring (VMON) and current
monitoring (IMON) are only supported on
the master unit.
The IMON current represents the total
current of the all the parallelized units.
Remote Sense
Please see the remote sense chapter for
details, page 53.
External Voltage and Resistance Control
Voltage/Resistance controlled remote
control can only be used with the master
unit.
58
OPERATION
Slew Rate
Only the master unit’s current or voltage
slew rate settings apply.
The settablecurrent slew rate is double or
triple that of a single unit, depending on the
number of units that are used in parallel.
For example:
The 2260B-30-36 has a maximum settable
current slew rate of 72A/S. When two 226030-36 units are used in parallel, the
maximum settable slew rate setting is
144A/S.
Internal Resistance
Only the master unit’s internal resistance
settings apply.
For 2 units in parallel, the internal resistance
is actually half of the setting value.
For 3 units in parallel, the internal resistance
is actually a third of the setting value.
Bleeder Control
The master unit is used to control the bleeder
settings. The bleeder resistors in all the slave
units are always turned off when in parallel
mode.

Overview
Before a test sequence can be run, it must first
be loaded into a one of the 10 memory save
slots. Before loading a test sequence into
memory:
Ensure the test sequence file is placed in the
root directory.
Ensure the file name number corresponds to
the memory number that you wish to save
to.
For example: A test sequence file named
t001.csv can only be saved to memory
number 01, t002.csv can only be saved to
memory number 02, and so on.
Steps
1. Insert a USB flash drive into the
front panel USB-A slot. Ensure the
flash drive contains a test sequence
file in the root directory.
2. Turn on the power. MS (Mass Storage) will be
displayed on the screen after a few seconds if
the USB drive is recognized.

Configuration
Configuration of the 2260B power supplies is divided into five
different configuration settings: Normal Function, USB/GPIB, LAN,
Power ON Configuration, Calibration Settings and System Settings.
Power ON Configuration differs from the other settings in that the
settings used with Power ON Configuration settings can only be set
during power up. The other configuration settings can be changed
when the unit is already on. This prevents some important
configuration parameters from being changed inadvertently. Power
On Configuration settings are numbered F-90 to F-95 and the other
configuration settings are numbered F-00 to F-61 and F-88 to F-89.
