2-1. CONNECTIONS.
a. Output Receptacle.- A rear panel mounted MHV
teflon-insulated receptacle provides connection to
the load circuit. The outer shell of the receptacle
is connected to chassis.
b. Coaxial Cables.- Use coaxial cables which are
rated for greater than 2200 volts for safe operation.
Coaxial cables provide best noise immunity for critical meaeurements.
C. Earth Ground.- For maximum operator safety use
the 3-wire power cord with third wire solidly connected to earth ground.

OPERATION
2-5. OVERLOAD PROTECTION.
a. The Model 244 has an overload current limiting
circuit which limits the output short-circuit current
to a maximum 14 milliamperes. The circuit is adjusted
so that the OVEKLOAD Indicator will be lighted when
the output current exceeds 11 milliamperes. When the
overload is removed the Model 244 will automatically
reset to normal operation and the OVERLOAD Indicator
will turn off.
b. Current Limiting Characteristic.- The Model 244
current limiting is shown graphically by the typical
V-I characteristic curves in Figure 4. The OVERLOAD
Indicator is factory-adjusted to turn on at approxi-
mately 11 milliamperes. However the output voltage
remains constant for current exceeding 11 milliamperes
as shown.
The current limiting occurs typically from
11.3 to 12.2 milliamperes depending on the dialed
voltage.
c. Model 2441 Overload Protection Option.- An
optional protection circuit is available which can
bz used to limit the current of the Model 244 when
w>nitored by a Keithley picoammeter such as the
I!zrdel 414A. Consult your Keithley representative or
t:,e Sales Service Department for further information
regarding the Model 2441 Option.
2-6.
CAPACITIVE La4ix.
a. When a capacitive load is connected to the output, Model 244 will deliver a charging current up to
14 milliamperes maximum until the dialed voltage is
developed across the load. During the charging time
the OVERLOAD Indicator will be lighted as long as the
output current exceeds 11 milliamperes. The OVERLOAD
Indicator will turn off automatically when the charging current is reduced to less than 11 milliamperes.
b.
Before reducing the dialed voltage with large
capacitive loads (exceeding 1 joule of energy), set
the OUTPUT Switch to “OFF”. Readjust the dialed
voltage and set the OUTPUT Switch to “ON”.
NOTE
A resonant condition (with increased output
noise) could result for large capacitive
loads.
If this should occur, change the
load capacitance slightly to remove the
resonant condition and reduce the output
noise.
2-7.
OUTPUT NOISE. The Model 244 output ripple and
noise is less than 0.5 millivolt rms above 5Hz with
maximum load. The output noise is typically 200 WV
rms ~with no load. Transient power line noise will
tend to increase the output noise.

is specified to be + 0.005% per hour worst-case after

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
MODEI: 244 HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY
SECTION 3. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
3-1. GENERAL.
a. The Model 244 High Voltage Supply haa been
designed to provide a,, accurate voltage from -200
to -2200 volts d-c.
A
simplified circuit diagram is
shown in Figure 5.
b. The Model 244 is composed of high and low voltage supply sections and various other circuits for
control and overload protection. These circuits include the following.
1. High voltage supply.
2. LOW voltage supply.
3. Series high voltage regulator.
4.
Error amplifier.
5. Reference supply.
6. Overload circuit.
7. Voltage Divider.
C. Over-all Operation.
The output voltage is
selected by the front panel dials which control the
voltage divider. The error amplifier senses any
difference between the voltage across the divider
string (which is connected to the output) and the
fixed reference supply.
The amplified difference
drives the series regulator circuit to correct the
output voltage.
The overload circuit senses the output load current and controls the current within
design limits.
This circuit also provides an over-
load indication.
3-2. HIGH VOLTAGE SECTION.
The high voltage is developed by a voltage doubler circuit composed of
diodes 0101, DlC2, DlC3, and 0104 and fileer capacitars Cl13 and C114.
The filtered d-c voltage (approxFmaeely 3200 volts) is applied between the - OUTPUT
and the anode of the series pass element (tube VlOl).
The high voltage section is controlled by the OUTPUT
Switch SlOl which provides
ON/OFF
control of the a-c
power to transformer TlOl.

MODEL 244 HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
SERIES HIGH VOLTAGE REGULATOR. The series regu-
3-3.
lator tube VlOl is biased by the collector voltage of
transitor QlOE to form a “cascade amplifier” with the
output load serving as the plate resistor. The Model
244 - OUTPUT is effectively the algebraic sum of the
unregulated high voltage (3200 V) and the drop across
“101 and QlOE. When the OUTPUT Switch SlOl is off
(e.g. no plate voltage is on “101) the voltage at pin
8 (Screen Voltage) of VlOl will be significantly less
than nominal + 95 volts since the tube current will
cause a voltage drop across R169.
VOLTAGE CONTROL. The output voltage is divided
3-4.
by a resistor divider composed of resistors R146
through R167 located an switches S102, 5103, and S104.
The sampling voltage is compared with the reference
supply voltage. (The reference supply is composed of
zener D119 and resistors Rl40 through R145). The
difference voltage is amplified by the error amplifier
(transistors QllO, Qlll, Q112, and Q113) which drives
cathode biasing transistor ~108. Diodes 0114 through
Dl17 and resistors R115, R117, R139, and R144 protec?
the comparator and zener reference from switching
transients when the output is changed.

prevents a reverse bias on transistor QlOV beyond its
breakdown voltage.
3-5. CURRENT CONTROL,
b. Overload Indication.- The OVERLOAD Indicator
05102 is driven by transistors 4104, Q106, and Q107.
Transistor QlO5 is an emitter-follower which biases
9106 to insure that the OVERLOAD Indicator turns on
before the current limiting actually occurs.
(The
OVERLOAD Indicator is designed to turn on at approx-
imately 11 milliamperes load current.)
LOW VOLTAGE SECTION. The low voltage for the

control circuitry is obtained from a full-wave rec-
tifier composed of diodes D109 and I1110 and filter

a constant current far zener diodes D105 and D106.
The current source is composed of transistors QlOl,
9102, and Q103 and reference zener D107. The regulated
current is sampled at R116 and compared to zener 0107
by transistor Q102. The action of QlOl and Q102
regulates the currene through 0105, D106, and R113.
- 10 v d-c. This voltage is regulated by zener
c.
diode 0106.
a. The output current is sensed by measuring the
voleage drop across resistor R124. A current limit
amplifier consisting of Q107 controls the error amplifier through diode D112. When the current through
R124 exceeds approximately 11 milliamperes, transistor
Q107 forward biases D112 and turns off the error amplifier which reduces the Model 244 through the action
of VlOl.

The a-c power to the high and low voltage
sections is controlled by the POWER ON
Switch ~102. The POWER ON Indicator
