LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
PAGEWARNING/CAUTION
3-8WARNING: For inductive loads, and especially superconducting magnet type loads,
the inherent offset of the BOP in the OFF state may generate significant
current in the circuit. A properly rated switch in parallel with a resistor
must be connected between the power supply and the load. The switch
must be open and voltage and current measurements at the output must
read 0V, 0A before removing or installing connections between BOP and
load.

2-8 CAUTION:it is recommended that source power of external equipment connected to
WARNING: For both inductive loads and constant-current-type active electronic
loads when the BOP output is set to OFF, a path is provided for absorbing
either the energy accumulated in the reactance of the load during the ON
state, or energy delivered by an electronic load. This prevents damage to
the load and power supply as well as providing safety for the user. However, In addition to the built-in safety features, constant-current-type active electronic loads must be adjusted to zero and voltage and current
measurements at the output must read 0V, minimum current, before handling the power supply-to-load connections.
WARNING: Accessing the BOP after the output is disabled in BATTERY mode is haz-
ardous because (1) high current arcing is possible and (2) either the external battery voltage, or the voltage (±Voltage Protection max) on the
BOP output terminals may be dangerous. Therefore, for battery and constant-voltage-type active electronic loads it is recommended that two
properly rated external switches be installed for safety: one in series with
the battery, and one across the BOP output. After the unit is set to OFF,
first open the switch in series with the battery, then close the switch
across the BOP output to ensure safety before handling BOP connections. When connecting the battery, the switch across the output should
be opened after the connections are complete and then the switch in series with the battery should be closed. If the constant-voltage-type active
electronic load is adjusted to zero before handling the power supply-toload connections, only the switch across the BOP output is required.
WARNING: The sense resistor will be dissipating full rated current of the BOP. If it is
hot to the touch, the sense resistor value, power rating and/or cooling are
incorrect; refer to PAR. 4.3 and Table 4-2.
the Analog Port be applied through an isolating transformer to avoid
ground loops or possible damage to the BOP due to incorrect equipment

grounded, the BOP can be damaged by the protection limit output current
flowing inside the BOP along the programming signal return path.
LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
PAGEWARNING/CAUTION
2-14 CAUTION:Do not connect both the load and the programming device return (com-
mon) to earth-ground potential. Otherwise, If the COMMON power connection between the BOP and the load is lost, then the BOP can be
damaged by output current flowing inside the BOP along the programming signal return path.
2-14 CAUTION:The safety features incorporated into the BOP to handle energy from Ac-
tive loads are unable to protect the power supply or the load if input power to the BOP is lost or if the BOP Malfunctions. It is recommended that
the user monitor “Power OK” flag pins 3 and 4 of the external Protect Port
(see Table 2-5) and implement a fast-acting means of disconnecting capacitive loads or crowbarring inductive loads to prevent damage to both
the BOP and the load in the event of input power loss.
2-19 CAUTION:For both parallel and series configurations, remove links between (COM
S) and (COM OUT) terminals of all slaves to prevent damage to the unit
and maintain system accuracy. Make sure to accurately follow Figures 27 through 2-10 for proper connection of the units.
2-25 CAUTION:For both parallel and series configurations, remove links between (COM
S) and (COM OUT) terminals of all slaves to prevent damage to the unit
and maintain system accuracy. Make sure to accurately follow Figures 27 through 2-10 for proper connection of the units.
3-1 CAUTION:Before connecting a load, note that the unit is will power-up with the con-
figuration set by the power-up switches accessible through the top cover
(see Table 2-2 for switch settings). Verify that these power-up settings are
compatible with your load (see Figure 2-2 and Table 2-2 for switch settings).
To change to change load type, baud rate or Trigger port Remote on/off
logic refer to PAR. 3.3.2.1; to change all other power-up settings listed below refer to PAR. 3.3.2.2.
In addition to the power-up settings determined by the switches accessed through the top cover, many unit parameters may be saved for the
next power-up cycle using MEM:UPD commands (see PAR. B.12). When
using MEM:UPD, it is recommended that the unit be tagged with the custom power-up configuration to avoid unexpected behavior upon powerup.
3-4 CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the circuit breaker/switch as this may damage
the unit.

This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation and servicing of the BOP-GL
series of 1000 Watt rack-mounted, 4-quadrant bipolar, programmable, voltage and current stabilized d-c power supplies manufactured by Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York, U.S.A.
1.2GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BOP-GL Series (Figure 1-1), are true 4-quadrant programmable voltage and current power
supplies, meaning they are capable of both sourcing and sinking power. The BOP-GL models
hereafter referred to as BOP, have been optimized for exceptionally low current ripple and noise
and improved stability (drift and temperature), making them ideal for driving inductive loads such
as large magnets or motors. These bipolar power supplies pass smoothly through zero without
switching to provide true ± voltage and ± current. These BOP power supplies use switch mode
technology for low dissipation. A bi-directional, isolating, a-c input power factor correcting (PFC)
circuit recuperates energy sunk from an active load and sends it back into the line to maintain
low dissipation.
These BOP power supplies can be controlled remotely by an analog ±10V input for the main
channel (voltage or current), and by a +1 to +10V input for the limit channels. They can also be
controlled through one of the standard digital interfaces (GPIB or RS 232) to set voltage and
current and the four protection limits (+voltage, –voltage, +current and –current.) Output voltage
and current can be remotely monitored via the analog monitor signals present at the rear panel
Analog I/O Port connector, or by using SCPI commands via either the RS 232 or GPIB ports.

• The time interval for each segment
depends on the type of waveform: period
for ramp and square waveforms, period or
fraction of period for sine and triangular
waveforms and time interval for DC levels
• Waveforms that exceed the maximum
number of points are not executed and an
error message is generated.
See LIST:CURR:APPLY (PAR. B.56) for current waveforms, or LIST:VOLT:APPLY (PAR.
B.79) for voltage waveforms.
See LIST:COUNt command (PAR. ). When
the count is complete or the waveform is
stopped using the CURR:MODE FIX command (PAR. B.27) or VOLT:MODE FIX command (PAR. B.94) the output remains at last
output value. The BOP can also stop at the
end of a cycle by using the CURR:MODE
HALT or VOLT:MODE HALT command.
See LIST:CURR:APPLY (PAR. B.56) for current waveforms, or LIST:VOLT:APPLY (PAR.
B.79) for voltage waveforms).
• Type of waveform, voltage or current, can
be selected only for a new waveform and
consequently applies to all waveform segments.
• All segments except the last may be set to
run once (using the LIST:COUN:SKIP command) or per the Count setting.
