This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation and maintenance of the specially
modified Kepco JQE 150-1.5MVPY-26956, "HALF-RACK" Power Supplies, manufactured by
Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York, U.S.A. This model is one of a group of three specially modified
JQE power supplies (see Table 1-1) referred to, hereafter referred to as JQE Special Power Supplies or JQE Specials. Additional copies of this manual can be downloaded from the Kepco web
site at
http://www.kepcopower.com/support/opmanls.htm#jqe.
1.2GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Kepco JQE Special Power Supplies are general purpose, precision regulated voltage
sources in the “half-rack” configuration. JQE Power Supplies feature full range voltage control
and current limit adjustment by means of multi-turn front panel controls. JQE Special power supplies have linear, full-dissipation series-regulators (NPN) driven by an integrated circuit operational amplifier. A sharp current-limit circuit enables current control operation of the power
supply. The output of the JQE power supply is programmable. All necessary connections are
available on terminals at the rear barrier-strips.
The compact design of the JQE Specials was made possible by a unique heatsink design of
exceptional efficiency in combination with highly reliable low-noise fans. All JQE power supplies
feature all-silicon design with conservatively rated components for added reliability.
JQE special power supplies are identical in their mechanical dimensions (Refer to FIG. 1-3) and
in their electrical specifications, except as noted in Table 1-1.
1.3FEATURES.
The three JQE Specials include the following features:
a) Two panel meters which permit simultaneous monitoring of the output voltage and out-
put current.
b) Overvoltage Protection. This protection acts simlutaneously on the circuit breaker’s volt-
age coil and the electrical "crowbar" that shorts the output through a silicon-controlled
rectifier (SCR) if the output voltage exceeds a preadjustable limit (see paragraph 1.7.5a)
for specifications).
c) Zero and full scale voltage calibration for local front panel voltage control.
d) Zero and full scale current calibration for CURRENT LIMIT “B”
e) Full scale current calibration for CURRENT LIMIT “A”
f) Zero and full scale current calibration for CURRENT MONITOR
g) Full scale calibration for remote resistive voltage control
h) Overvoltage protection adjustment
i) Overvoltage protection delay adjustment
The main chassis frame of the power supply is constructed from cold-rolled steel, as is the perforated wrap-around cover. Front panel material is aluminum (Refer to FIG. 1-3 for finish).

panel), this pot controls output voltage from zero to E

the link installed on the rear panel terminal block TB501, between terminals 6 (RVC) and
7 (RPV1); the remote voltage control resistor between terminals 7 (RPV1) and 8 (RPV2)
must be removed.
b) REMOTE OUTPUT VOLTAGE CONTROL: When the E

exercised by resistance (1000 ohms per volt of output); refer to Section 3 for details. This
allows the output to be controlled from zero to E

NOTE: The default ZERO voltage calibration done at the factory is for local control. Because
the front panel voltage control potentiometer has a value higher that zero (usually
0.05% of the nominal value of the potentiometer) when set to the full counterclockwise
position, the ZERO calibration is inaccurate if the remote control resistor reaches a
perfect zero. Therefore, when operating with a remote control resistor in voltage mode,
it is recommended that the ZERO and FULL SCALE adjustments be recalibrated (see
PAR 4.5.2.2. and 4.5.5).
c) REMOTE ERROR SENSING: Rear terminals provide for connection of error sensing
leads directly at the load. The four-terminal load connection compensates for the voltage
drop along the load wires. Up to 0.5 Volt per load wire can be compensated using
remote sensing.
1.7.2CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL CHANNEL
a) LOCAL OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “A”: 10-turn precision potentiometer at
the front panel, controls the current limit from less than 10% to 100% of the rated output
current (I

(AMPS)
a) LOCAL AND REMOTE OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “B”: A 10-turn precision
potentiometer at the front panel controls the current limit from 1% to 105% of the nominal
“B” value (see Table 1-3). Current control “B” accuracy is 0.5% of the nominal “B” value.
When Current Limit “B” is active, if the unit is operating in current limit mode, the lowest
value of current limit “A” and “B” functions as the current limit for the unit. Current control
“B” is enabled by the link installed on the rear panel terminal block TB502 between pin 1
(REF) and pin 2 (RPC1); if this link is removed, only current control “A” is active.
When Current Limit “B” is active, remote resistive control is possible by connecting an
external variable resistance between terminal 2 (RPC1) and terminal 3 (RPC2) of
TB502. The external resistance will be in parallel with the 500 Ohm front panel LIMIT “B”
potentiometer. A zero ohm external resistance will reduce current limit “B” to approximately 1% of the nominal “B” value. The adjustment curve is non-linear, proportional to:

1.7.3CURRENT MONITOR
A current monitor voltage output is available to externally monitor output current. This output
signal is available at rear terminal block TB503 across terminals 1 (+C MON) and 2 (–C MON).
The transfer factor of the current monitor signal is 50mV/A. Both ZERO and FS calibrations for
the Current Monitor signal are provided.

The Current Monitor signal accuracy is 1% of the nominal Current Limit “A” value. The internal
impedance of the C-MON output signal is less than 50Ohms. The recommended withdraw current from this output is 2mA. This output is protected against temporary or permanent short-circuit. The short-circuit current is 5mA.
The C. MON signal is referenced to –OUTPUT (INTERNAL), prior to the 0.01Ohm
sensing resistor of the C. MON circuitry. Care must be taken when handling this
signal to avoid short-circuiting the output of the unit
1.7.4DYNAMICS
a) VOLTAGE RECOVERY FOR STEP-LOAD CURRENT: The time required for the stabi-
lized output voltage to recover within the load effect band (or 2 mV, whichever is greater)
is less than 50 microseconds.
b) CURRENT RECOVERY FOR STEP-LOAD VOLTAGE: The time required for the stabi-
lized output current to recover within the load-effect band is governed by an (exponential) RC time constant, where "R" represents the load resistance and "C" is the tabulated
(Table 1-1) shunt capacitance.
c) PROGRAMMING SPEED: The rate at which the JOE power supply responds to a step-
program is determined by the setting of the current limit control, the value of the load
resistance and the tabulated (Table 1-1) shunt capacity.
WARNING
d) OUTPUT IMPEDANCE (See Table 1-1): The DC and low frequency value is given by the
tabulated (Table 1-2) load effects. With increasing frequency, the output impedance
becomes asymptotic to the tabulated (Table 1-1 series inductance (Voltage Mode) or
shunt capacitance (Current Mode).
1.7.5GENERAL
a) CROWBAR SPECIFICATIONS: The electronic "crowbar" circuit consists of a silicon con-
trolled rectifier (SCR) and a sensing amplifier. If the output voltage exceeds a pre-viously
set adjustable limit, the power supply output is shorted by the SCR and the input circuit
breaker is tripped off.
1) Adjustable Limit Range: 5% of E
2) Triggering Time: 5 - 10µS, with adjustable delay (25 ±5µS to 180 ± 40µS) to minimize
false triggering.
3) Threshold: Limit point may be set to within 5% of E
greater.
b) METERS: Two 2 inch, recessed panel meters, 3% of full scale accuracy are provided for
output voltage and current monitoring.

2.3AC INPUT REQUIREMENTS
This power supply is normally supplied for operation on a single phase, nominal 115V AC line.
For conversion to 230V AC line operation, refer to FIG. 2-4. Remove the two wire jumpers
between transformer terminals indicated. Re-connect one (1) jumper between terminals indicated. Do not change any other wiring on the transformer.
FIGURE 2-4. CONVERSION TO 230V AC LINE OPERATION
2.4COOLING
The power transistors and rectifiers in this power supply are maintained within their operating
temperature range by means of a high efficiency heat-sink assembly, coded by an internal fan.
SIDE PANEL OPENINGS AND THE TOP OF THE CASE MUST BE KEPT CLEAR FROM
OBSTRUCTIONS TO INSURE PROPER AIR CIRCULATION. Periodic cleaning of the interior
of the power supply is recommended. If the power supply is rack mounted, or installed into confined spaces, care must be taken that the ambient temperature does not rise above the limit
specified (Refer to Section 1).
2.5PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL CHECK
A simple operational check after unpacking and before equipment installation is advisable to
ascertain whether the power supply has suffered damage resulting from shipping. Refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for location of operating controls and electrical connections.
1. Connect power supply to 115V AC line or refer to paragraph 2.3 for 230V AC operation if
required.
2. Verify that the following links are installed at the rear panel (see Figure 2-2) and that the connection is tight:
TB501 between –S and –V terminals
TB501 between +S and +V terminals
TB501 between RVC and RPV1 terminals
TB502 between REF and RPC1 terminals
3. Turn CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL "A" and "B" full clockwise. Turn VOLTAGE CONTROL
fully counterclockwise.
4. Connect a DVM to terminal +S and DVM return to –S of TB501 at the rear panel.
5. Turn AC POWER circuit breaker "on." The AC PILOT LIGHT should be energized. Slowly
turn VOLTAGE CONTROL clockwise and verify the front panel voltmeter shows a gradual

2.6INSTALLATION (REFER TO FIGURE 1-1, OUTLINE DRAWING)
The JQE specials may be used as a bench-operated instrument. A retractable "bail" is provided
to lift the power supply front to a convenient viewing and operating angle. If the supply is to be
rack-mounted, the bail, the two rear feet and the side handles must be removed.
For all installations into confined spaces, care must be taken that the temperature immediately
surrounding the unit does not exceed the maximum specified ambient temperature (71°C).
2.7GROUNDING
AC GROUND. The power supply is equipped with a 3-wire safety line cord and polarized plug.
The third (green) wire in the line cord is connected to the chassis and the case of the unit.
WARNING
For safe operation It is recommended that the rear panel stud marked be
connected to the appropriate earth ground.
DC GROUND. The DC output is isolated from the AC power line and from any direct connection
to chassis or ground. The maximum voltage that can be supported between either output terminal and ground or chassis is 500V DC plus the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
Either side of the output may be grounded. A convenient grounding terminal is provided at the
rear terminal block TB501 GND terminal.

SECTION 3 - OPERATION
3.1STANDARD POWER SUPPLY OPERATION, LOCAL CONTROL
3.1.1GENERAL
The Power Supply is shipped from the factory with three (3) removable jumper links in place at
the rear barrier strip TB501 as shown in FIG. 3-1, as well as a link between REF and RPC1 terminals of rear barrier strip TB502 that enables the front panel CURRENT LIMIT “B” control.
THESE LINKS MUST BE IN PLACE AND SECURED TIGHTLY for standard local operation.
Loose terminal links or wires at the barrier strip will cause malfunction of the power supply.
3.2LOAD CONNECTION
The load may be connected in either of the two ways illustrated (Figure 3-1).
3.2.1LOCAL ERROR SENSING (SEE FIGURE 3-1A.)
This type of load connection is recommended for constant load applications. Install the links
between +S and +V terminals and between –S and –V terminals of TB501 at the rear panel.
Load connecting wires should be as heavy as practicable, since load wire voltage drops will
degrade regulation performance. Twisting of load wires will help to preserve the low output
impedance as well as reduce the coupled and radiated noise of the power supply.

remote error sensing. A twisted, shielded pair of wires from the sensing terminals directly to the
load will compensate for load wire voltage drops up to 0.5 volt per wire (Refer to Figure 3-1B).
Observe polarities: for example, the positive sensing wire (from TB 501 +S) goes to the positive
load terminal (connected to terminal +V).
To keep the DC voltage drop in the load connecting wires to a minimum, and to preserve the
dynamic characteristics of the power supply (AC stability, output impedance and recovery time),
load wires should be as short as possible and as large in diameter as practicable. Error sensing
leads should be #22 AWG and as short as possible. Both lead pairs should preferably be tightly
twisted. For minimum ripple and noise pick-up, the error sensing leads must be shielded. The
shield should be returned to the ground point of TB501.
3.2.3GROUNDED LOAD CONNECTION
If the load has one end connected to EARTH-GND, then connect the load termination connected to EARTH-GND to +V of TB501 at the rear panel for better output noise performance
(see Figure 3-2A). For this configuration the voltage across the load will be negative with
respect to chassis GND,
If the load is floating, but it is desired to have the JQE having the output with a certain polarity
with respect to chassis GND, connect locally at TB501, either + V terminal to GND for a negative output voltage referenced to chassis GND (see Figure 3-2B), or connect -V terminal to GND
for a positive output voltage referenced to chassis GND (see Figure 3-2C).

3.3OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT
Once the load is connected to the output terminals of the power supply as described in the previous paragraphs, the operating voltage may be adjusted to the desired value by turning the
VOLTAGE CONTROL and observing the front panel VOLTMETER.
If the link is present between terminals REF and RPC1 of barrier strip TB502 at the rear panel,
CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “A” is recommended to be set fully clockwise, then use either
CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “B” or the remote resistance connected between terminals RPC1
and RPC2 of barrier strip TB502 to control the current limit.
If the link is removed between terminals REF and RPC1 of barrier strip TB502 at the rear panel,
both CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “B” and the remote control of current limit via terminals RPC1
and RPC2 are disabled; use CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “A” to establish the current limit.
CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “A” or “B” may also be set to intermediate values, as desired, by
first turning the AC POWER circuit breaker to the "off" position and then placing a short circuit
across the output. Turn AC POWER circuit breaker "on." Now the required operating current is
adjusted by turning CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL “A” or “B” to the value needed. For a more precise current limit adjustment use a 4-terminal shunt connected at the output as specified in PAR.
2.5 step 7. The range for current limit “A” is 10% to 100% of I
rent limit “B” is 1% to 105% of I
shunt. After the short is removed from the output, the voltage protection can be set.
With the OVP ADJ potentiometer set fully clockwise, set the output voltage as described above.
Turn the OVP ADJ potentiometer slowly counterclockwise, until the power supply output "crowbars," indicated by the output voltage going to zero and the circuit breaker tripping. Turn the
OVP ADJ potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise. A too close adjustment towards the operating voltage may lead to spurious triggering, especially if the "delay" adjustment is set for maximum sensitivity. The minimum "threshold" voltage protection adjustable is 5% of E
OVP DELAY ADJ potentiometer if required. This control is factory adjusted for maximum sensitivity, consistent with reliable operation without spurious triggering. It needs re-adjustment only if
extremely sensitive loads must be triggered in the shortest time possible and if some spurious
triggering can be tolerated. Now the load can be connected to the power supply and operation
can commence.

3.4INTRODUCTION TO REMOTE PROGRAMMING
3.4.1GENERAL
A few general remarks may be in order to familiarize the user of this equipment with the terminology and basic equations pertaining to remote programming of Kepco Power Supplies. Electrically, the power supply, consists of the unregulated DC source (E
the DC error amplifier (A
) and a comparison circuit which resembles a four-arm electrical
V
), the pass element (EP),
U
bridge. (Refer to Figure 3-3). The elements of the bridge are arranged to produce a virtual zero
at the amplifier input when the bridge circuit is at balance (VAA' = 0). Any tendency for the output voltage to change in relation to the reference voltage (E
) creates an error signal (E) which,
r
by means of negative feedback and the amplifier, tends to correct the output voltage towards
restoration of bridge balance.

3.5GENERAL RULES FOR REMOTE PROGRAMMING
All remote programming applications require the observance of a few basic rules to insure
proper functioning of the power supply in the particular mode of operation selected. These rules
should be remembered before each application, and especially if malfunctioning of the programming set-up is experienced.
3.5.1GROUNDING
Ground loops due to multiple and indiscriminate grounding of various equipment are the cause
of the majority of complaints about "high ripple or noise." They can be easily avoided by grounding the power supply at one point only to which all shielded cables and equipment cases are
connected. If possible, one side (preferable the positive one) of the power supply output should
also be grounded.
3.5.2CONNECTIONS
All external connections, especially the rear barrier strip terminal screws, must be tight. Series
malfunctions may be caused by open feedback loops, error sensing lines or programming connections.
3.5.3PROGRAMMING RESISTORS
Programming resistors should be high quality wirewound units with temperature coefficients of
20 parts per million or better. Their wattage rating must be at least 10 times the actual power
dissipated. Although the control current through these resistors is only 1 mA, an error current
spike exists when programming large voltage excursions. The peak of the current is limited by
the internal 500 Ohm resistor and depends upon the magnitude of output voltage swing. The
time constant is determined by the internal 500-Ohm resistor and the unit’s output capacitance
given in Table 1-1 for current mode.
3.5.4EXTERNAL SWITCHING
If step-switch devices are used in resistance programming, they must be of the "make before
break" variety to avoid programming infinity. Programming resistors must have a voltage rating
at least equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
3.6OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING WITH EXTERNAL RESISTANCE
The output voltage of the Power Supply may be controlled remotely by an external resistance,
replacing the built-in voltage control resistance which is disconnected at the rear barrier strip;
this is accomplished by removing the link between terminals RVC and RPV1 at terminal block
TB501 at the rear panel. Refer to Figure 3-5 and install a variable resistance across terminals
RPV1 and RPV2 of TB501. To maintain a calibrated “programming ratio” of 1000 Ohms/V, the
switch labelled E

Volt of output, 1000 Ohms control resistance must be provided.
1. Determine value of programming resistor(s) for output voltage desired.
2. Using two-wire, shielded cable, connect the chosen resistors to terminals RPV1 and
RPV2 at terminal block TB501 on the rear panel. Connect the shield to the GND terminal of TB501.
JQE special power supplies will deliver constant current depending on the output voltage and
output current limit settings as well as the load value. In constant current operating mode, the
voltage comparison bridge is interconnected with the internal current sensing resistor, R
current control, R
(as shown in Figure 3-6) to maintain a constant voltage drop across RS. In
CC
, and a
S
this way, an adjustable constant load current is obtained. Characteristic of the constant current
supply is ability to change its output voltage automatically in order to maintain a constant current
through a range of possible load resistances. The range of output voltage that the supply can

VOLTAGE.”

4.3LAG NETWORK ADJUSTMENT
An a-c stability control in the form of a lag network has been provided in this power supply. This
network has been factory adjusted for maximum amplifier stability when operating into a resistive load. Re-adjustment is indicated if components affecting the a-c characteristics of the amplifier must be replaced, or if the load connected to the power supply contains excessive
capacitance or inductance, causing a-c instability (usually indicated by high-frequency oscillation as observed with an oscilloscope across the power supply load). In such cases, the lag network should be adjusted so that stable operation is resumed. In extreme cases if adjustment of
the lag network should not prove sufficient, twisted load and error sensing wires or decoupling
capacitance directly across the load may provide a solution to the problem.
1.Connect the power supply to the particular operating load using +V and –V terminals of
TB501 at the rear panel.
2.Use an oscilloscope connected across the load to monitor oscillation.
3.Turn on the JQE special power supply and adjust E

1.Use the VOLTAGE control at the front panel to set the output voltage to a typical operational voltage as measured by either the front panel voltmeter or by an external DVM.

2.Turn OVP DELAY ADJ potentiometer (accessible through top cover) to approximately the
middle position (five turns from one end).
3.Slowly, turn the OVP ADJ potentiometer counterclockwise until the power supply circuit
breaker trips OFF. Then turn OVP ADJ potentiometer clockwise 1/4 turn.
4.Turn on the JQE special power supply. The circuit breaker should not trip and the output
voltage, measured by either the front panel voltmeter or by the external DVM, should the
same as step 1 above.
NOTE: The OVP circuit causes the circuit breaker to trip and initiates the Output Crowbar, a
solid state switch (thyristor) across the output. Adjust OVP DELAY ADJ potentiometer
so that the circuit breaker does not trip while the unit is operating with your particular
load and application. To avoid tripping the circuit breaker unnecessarily, for example
upon encountering load transients, a compromise must be made between the following:
•Rapid OVP action (minimum tolerance for output overvoltage):
OVP DELAY ADJ set to full counterclockwise position and
•Maximum delay of OVP action (where some overvoltage is acceptable):
OVP DELAY ADJ set to full clockwise position.

4.5OUTPUT VOLTAGE CALIBRATION
The output voltage calibration consists of the following calibration procedures which must all be
performed in sequence: Pre-calibration Setup (PAR 4.5.1), Zero Output Voltage (PAR 4.5.2),
Zero Current Monitor (PAR 4.5.3), Local Full Scale (FS) Output Voltage (PAR 4.5.4), and
Remote Full Scale (FS) Output Voltage (PAR 4.5.5).
4.5.1VOLTAGE PRE-CALIBRATION SETUP
Turn the power supply off and verify the following:

4.5.2.1ZERO OUTPUT VOLTAGE (LOCAL PROGRAMMING) CALIBRATION
The following procedure calibrates the front panel VOLTAGE control for 0V output when set to
minimum. Due to slight resistance present even when the VOLTAGE control is set to minimum,
this calibration may not be accurate in remote mode where an external resistance is used for
remote programming of the output (see PAR. 4.5.2.2 if using remote programming).
1.Connect DVM between +S and -S of TB501 with the DVM reference terminal connected to

SECTION 5 - THEORY OF OPERATION
5.1SIMPLIFIED DIAGRAM DISCUSSION
Referring to Figure 5-1, the main power transformer converts the line voltage to the required levels needed to produce the d-c operating voltages for the Main and Auxiliary Supplies. The main
power supply is in series with the pass elements and the current sensing RESISTOR and produces the output voltage.The main pass elements are changing their series resistance to keep
the output voltage constant. The necessary drive for this change is produced by the driver circuit
which, in turn, receives its command signals either from current error amplifier A or B or the voltage error amplifier.
The output voltage is constantly compared to the voltage reference source, while the output current, monitored by the current sensing resistor, is compared to the current reference source.
Any change, in either output voltage or current, is amplified by the associated amplifier and
transferred to the diode-gate which feeds directly into the driver circuit which produces the
needed drive signal for the main pass elements, thus either keeping the output voltage constant,
or, if the signal from the current limit amplifier is dominant, limiting the output current to the preadjusted value.
The Overvoltage Crowbar is connected across the output terminals of the power supply. A portion of the output voltage is continuously compared to an internal reference. If an overvoltage
occurs; the SCR "crowbar" will short-circuit the output immediately. Recycling takes place automatically, since the a-c input power is removed by the tripping of the circuit breaker.
5.2CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
For the purpose of analysis, the circuitry of the JQE special power supplies may be divided into
several sections which are individually described below. The overall schematic diagram (Figure
7-8) and the detailed schematic diagrams (Figures 7-9 through 7-11) Illustrate the circuitry
described in this section.
5.2.1A-C INPUT CIRCUIT.
A-C line power is introduced through the a-c input barrier-strip or a heavy-duty three-wire line
cord with safety plug. The use of a grounded a-c power outlet will automatically ground the
power supply, since the third wire of the line cord is directly connected to the metal chassis and
case. Once the a-c power circuit breaker (CB101) is closed, the primary of the main transformer
(T201), the fan (B201) and the a-c pilot light (DS101) will be energized. The two primary windings of the main transformer are either connected in parallel (for 115V a-c nominal line voltage)
or in series (for 230V a-c nominal line voltage). The a-c power circuit breaker (CB101), aside
from switching the a-c primary power, has the function of disconnecting the power supply from
the a-c line in case of input overloads, short circuits, heatsink overtemperature or output overvoltage. CB101 has two sensing coils, one of which is always in series with one of the primary
windings on T201 (T2-T5), whether the main transformer is wired for 115V or for 230V a-c. The
second sensing coil of CB101 is in series with the secondary winding on T201 which generates
operating potential for the overvoltage protection circuit (T201-T6, T7). If an overload occurs,
due to either internal component failure or crowbar action of the voltage protector, the coil is
energized sufficiently to activate the trip mechanism of CB101, thus disconnecting the power
supply from the a-c line.

Page 42
FIGURE 5-1. JQE SPECIAL POWER SUPPLY, SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
5-2JQE S PEC I AL S VC 0 8 1111
Page 43
Since the primary coil of the AUXILIARY POWER TRANSFORMER (T202) is in parallel with the
secondary for the overvoltage protection circuit, any failure in the auxiliary circuits, reflecting
back to the primary of the auxiliary power transformer (T202) will also activate the sensing coil
of CB101 and shut down the power supply. A thermal sensing element (S301) is mounted to the
heatsink assembly (A3) to protect the series regulator transistors from overtemperature. If the
preset temperature on S301 is exceeded, its contact closes and energizes the sensing coil of
CB101, resulting once more In the tripping of the a-c power circuit breaker and subsequent
removal of the a-c input power from the power supply.
5.2.2MAIN D-C SUPPLY
The main d-c power is derived from a center-tapped secondary winding on T201. A full-wave
rectifier circuit with silicon diodes (CR201, CR202) operates into a capacitor input filter (C201 or
C201/C202) which is paralleled by a bleeder resistor (R202). The main d-c supply delivers the
output current via the series regulator or pass-element.
5.2.3PASS-ELEMENT SECTION
The pass element section varies in complexity according to the output voltage and current rating
of the particular model. The NPN silicon pass-transistors of the JQE are located on high-efficiency heatsinks and are cooled by a fan (B201). These models have a single heatsink assembly (A3) with NPN transistors. The number of transistors depends on the individual model. While
in the low voltage/high output current models (E

arrangement of their pass-transistors. However complex the pass-element section, for analytical
purposes it can be reduced to a single pass-transistor. Electrically, this pass-element is part of a
series circuit consisting of the unregulated main d-c power supply, the external load and the
pass-transistor. The output voltage of the power supply is kept constant, regardless of variations
in the unregulated supply, by changing the series resistance of the control element (the passtransistor) in the described series circuit. The necessary base-drive for the pass-transistors to
affect the change in series resistance is supplied by the “Darlington” connected driver stages.
The main driver stages, in turn, receive their base signals from the pre-driver stage (A1Q2).

O
5.2.4VOLTAGE ERROR AMPLIFIER (VEA)
The main function of the voltage error amplifier A1IC1 (see Figure 7-9) is to amplify the d-c error
signal, derived from the comparison bridge, to a level suitable to pass the diode gate circuit and
drive the pre-driver stage A1Q2. The voltage error amplifier is a d-c coupled, high-gain operational amplifier. The amplifier input may be disconnected from the internal comparison bridge
circuit, and programmed externally. Although the amplifier is used in the non-inverting configuration, a positive input signal will produce a negative power supply output with respect to the
“common” (plus sensing terminal +S), since the pass-elements provide another signal inversion.
If a link is installed between TB501, terminals 6 (RVC) and 7 (RPVC1) (see Figure 7-8) and the

5.2.5CURRENT LIMIT CIRCUIT
The differential input of the current sensing amplifier, A1IC2A, is connected to the current sensing resistor (R
= R203). The amplified voltage drop across the current sensing resistor is con-
S
tinuously compared to the reference voltage, set by the current limit control. As long as the
JQ E SPE C IA L S VC 0 8 11115-3
Page 44
amplified voltage developed across RS (due to load current flow) is less than the preset reference level, the current limit amplifier will be biased to its inactive state and will not affect the output. If the output current increases however, the voltage drop across R
reference level set by the current limit control. The current limit amplifier will be activated and
produce a drive signal at the diode gate greater than the output of the voltage error amplifier,
thereby taking control away from the voltage error amplifier and transferring the power supply
into current limit mode. Since both the current limit amplifier and voltage error amplifier are coupled through the diode gate circuit to the pre-driver stage A1Q2, the amplifier with the greater
(negative) output will control the pass transistors and therefore the output.
Current Limit "A" uses A1IC3 as the current error amplifier, while Current Limit "B" uses A1IC4.
The reference for Current Limit "A" is delivered by A1IC2B, using R101 (front panel Current
Limit "A" control) as the controlling potentiometer. Current Limit "B" uses A1IC5 as the reference
stage using R103 (front panel Current Limit "B" control) as the controlling potentiometer. If the
link between terminal block TB502, terminals 1 (REF) and 2 (RPC1) is installed, both current
limit "A" and "B" loops are enabled, however the one with the lowest current limit value controls
the unit. If Current Limit "B" is in control, this value may be modified by a remote resistance connected across TB502, terminals 2 (RPC1) and 3 (RPC2). If the link between block TB502, terminals 1 (REF) and 2 (RPC1) is removed, Current Limit "B" is disabled.
5.2.6OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT AND CURRENT MONITOR
Input and output connections for the overvoltage protection circuit (VP) are made via a single
connector, P401/J407. The circuit receives a-c voltage derived from a secondary of the main
transformer (T201). The a-c is rectified by a conventional bridge rectifier (A4CR1), capacitor filtered by the input filter capacitor (A4C1) and shunt regulated by a 15V zener diode (A4CR3). A
6.5-Volt source, derived from the pre-regulated DC voltage by means of shunt regulator A4IC1,
provides a stable reference source referenced to C1 (–) (minus).
will overcome the
S
The overvoltage protection circuit contains output sensing voltage differential amplifier IC2 and
voltage comparator IC3A. This circuit compares the output sensing voltage with the adjustable
voltage limit level. Once triggered, the comparator’s output is integrated (A4CR14, A4C6, and
A4C9), providing an adjustable delay through R(C)403 and A4IC3B.
In the event of an overvoltage, resulting either from external causes or from internal power supply failure, the circuit become active. A4CR402 will be turned on, producing an output pulse.
As the first S.C.R. (CR402) is conducting, it performs two functions: It shorts out the DC supply
for the voltage protection circuit, thereby creating an overcurrent in one of the circuit breaker
coils. Simultaneously, CR402 generates a firing pulse for the main S.C.R. (CR203), which
through its ”crowbar” action short-circuits the power supply output. The a-c circuit breaker
(CB101) trips due to the action of the first S.C.R. (CR402), disconnecting the power supply from
the power line. The protection circuit is automatically re-activated with the ”turn-on” of the power
supply via CB101.
The current monitor circuit (A4IC4) amplifies the signal across the second current sensing resistor (A4R24) connected in the –OUTPUT leg of the power supply. The transfer factor is 50mV/A.
The current monitor signal is available at terminals +C MON and –C MON of terminal block
TB503 at the rear panel.
5.2.7AUXILIARY SUPPLIES

ary winding on the auxiliary transformer (T202). Rectified by A1CR8, the supply is capacitor fil-

tered by A1C2. A current regulator stage, A1Q3, followed by a string of zener diodes, A1CR10
to A1CR13, provides the operating voltage for the amplifiers, ±13.5V and ±6.2V reference voltages.
PRE-DRIVER COLLECTOR SUPPLY. A full wave rectified (A1CR6) and capacitor filtered
(A1C7) supply is derived from a secondary winding on T202. It delivers collector voltage to the
pre-driver stage A1Q2.
CONSTANT CURRENT RETURN SUPPLY. This full-wave rectified auxiliary supply is derived
from the winding of the auxiliary power transformer. Rectified by A1CR1 and filtered by A1C1,
constant current is applied to the base of the pass transistors (via the constant current generator
stage A1Q1, thus insuring the control of the Pass-Element for zero output voltage and/or zero
output current.
5.2.8METERING CIRCUIT
Both output voltage and output current are monitored by dual range front panel meters (M101,
M102). While the output voltage is measured directly across error sensing terminals 1 (–S) and
5 (+S) of terminal block TB501, the output current is measured indirectly as a voltage drop
across the current sensing resistor (R203).

SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE
6.1GENERAL
This section covers maintenance procedures, installation of optional components, calibration
and test measurements of the JQE Special Power Supplies. Conservative rating of components
and the non-congested layout should keep maintenance problems to a minimum. If trouble does
develop however, the easily removed wrap-around cover and the plug-in feature of the circuit
boards provide exceptional accessibility to all components of the supply.

6.2.6REASSEMBLY.
Reassembly of all components takes place in reverse order of the above described procedures.
6.3TROUBLESHOOTING
Modern, high performance power supplies require thorough understanding of the problems
involved in repairing complex, solid state circuitry. Servicing beyond simple parts replacements
should consequently be attempted only by personnel thoroughly familiar with solid state component techniques and with experience in closed loop circuitry.
The heat sink and main rectifier are electrically isolated from the chassis.
The metal parts of these components are at high d-c voltage levels
Troubleshooting charts, showing resistance and voltage readings, are of very limited usefulness
with feedback amplifiers and are not included here. Instead a detailed circuit description (Section 5), parts location diagrams, simplified functional schematics and a main schematic and
detailed schematic diagrams are presented.
The following basic steps in a case of power supply malfunctioning may also be found useful:
1. If power supply does not function at all. Check all power connections and make certain,
power supply is connected to the correct line voltage (it is normally delivered for 115V AC
operation). Verify that the input voltage is present at the a-c outlet where the unit is plugged
in.

NOTES
1. High D-C Output: If the output voltage is high and not controllable by the voltage control,
identical steps as outlined in step 2 above for No d-c output are advisable. In addition, if the
condition persists, check the following:
•Check the pre-driver transistor* (A1Q1 ) and the main driver (Q305) as well as all passelement transistors located on heat sink assembly A3.
•Check the voltage control resistor (R102) for continuity. Monitor output with an oscilloscope and observe ripple wave-form and amplitude. If high frequency oscillations are
observed, proceed as directed by PAR. 4.3. High 60 Hz ripple is often due to failure in
one of the rectifier circuits.
2. Input Circuit Breaker Trips at Power-up
•Set the OVP ADJ potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise.
•For local operation, verify that EOUT LOC-REM switch is set to LOC position (towards
front panel). Verify that link between terminals RVC and RPV1 of TB501 on the rear
panel is installed.
JQ E SPE C IA L S VC 0 8 11116-3
Page 50
•For remote operation, verify that EOUT LOC-REM switch is set to REM position
(towards rear panel). Verify that link between terminals RVC and RPV1 of TB501 on the
rear panel is removed. Verify remote programming resistor is connected between terminals RPV1 and RPV2 of TB501 on the rear panel.
3. Input Circuit Breaker Trips During Operation
•Use properly rated (output current) twisted pair wires for power terminal (+V, –V) connections as well as remote error sensing
•If remote error sensing is used, use properly rated (#22AWG recommended) twisted pair
wires for sense terminal (+S, –S) connections to the load.
•If the unit is operated at full power with maximum input voltage, check that the ambient
operating temperature surrounding the unit is within specified limits (see PAR 1.5).
•Verify that the pass-element transistors are tight to the heat sink and that silicone grease
was used beteen the transistor and heat sink. If problem recurs, replace thermoswitch
mounted on heat sink assembly.
4. If the power supply is basically functioning, but poor performance is evident, inspect the test
set-up to make certain the source of the trouble is not external.
5. Poor regulation in any of the regulating modes is usually traceable to incorrectly connected
loads or faulty measurement techniques. Perform measurements as described in Paragraph
6.4.2.
6. Oscillation of the output voltage or output current is often due to a load with a large inductive
component. Twisted load wires of sufficient diameter and held as short as practical, are often
the solution to the problem. Refer to to PAR. 4.3 for lag network adjustment.
7. Kepco Application Engineers are available for consultation or direct help in difficult service or
application problems.
6.4POWER SUPPLY MEASUREMENTS
Measurement of the significant parameters of a power supply is a requirement for incoming
inspection, periodic maintenance, or after component replacement. Since the measurements
require special techniques to ensure correct results, suggestions for their performance are given
below.
6.4.1REQUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT.
1. Constant AC supply voltage with provisions for "stepping" the voltage over a specified
region (105-125V); a variable autotransformer is generally adequate, if it is rated to
deliver the input current of the unit under test.
2. Resistive load, variable, with ON/OFF and SHORTING SWITCH and capable of dissipating the full output power of the unit under test.
3. DC voltage monitor, digital voltmeter, or power supply analyzer.
4. Current sensing resistor, for current regulation measurements, four-terminal device.

5. AC ripple monitor, sensitivity better than 1 mV. Ballantine Model 302C. or Hewlett Packard Model 400H.
6. Optional: Oscilloscope, vertical sensitivity better than 0.1 mV/cm.
6.4.2MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS
a. Output Voltage Measurement. The principle governing this method of measurement is sim-
ple: DO NOT MEASURE ANY VOLTAGE DROPS DUE TO LOAD CURRENT FLOW. This

d. RMS ripple may be monitored on a true RMS-reading instrument connected in parallel with
the regulation analyzer leads. Careful wire dressing and shielding, as well as good a-c
grounding are of the utmost importance if valid measurements are expected. An oscilloscope
may also be used for p-p readings of noise and ripple. An approximate RMS reading can be
calculated from the p-p reading of the oscilloscope if the reading is divided by three.

SECTION 7 - ELECTRICAL PARTS LIST AND DIAGRAMS
7.1GENERAL
This section contains the schematic diagrams, the parts location diagrams, and a list of all
replaceable electrical parts. All components are listed in alpha-numerical order of their reference designations. Consult your Kepco Representative for replacement of parts not listed here.
7.2ORDERING INFORMATION
To order a replacement part or inquire about parts not listed in the parts list, address order or
inquiry either to your authorized Kepco Sales Representative or to:
Specify the following information for each part:
•Power Supply Model number, Serial number, and Revision number stamped on the
nameplate of the unit.
•Kepco part number. See Parts List.
•Circuit Reference Designation. See Schematic Diagram.
KEPCO, INC.
131-38 Sanford Avenue
Flushing, NY 11355
•Description. See Parts List.
To order a part not listed in the parts list, give a complete description and include its function
and location.
NOTE:Kepco does not stock or sell complete power supply subassemblies as described here
and elsewhere in the instruction manual. Some of the reasons are listed below:
1.Replacement of a complete subassembly is a comparatively rare necessity.
2. Kepco's subassemblies are readily serviceable, since most of them are the "plug- in"
type.
3.The nature of a closed loop power supply system requires that subassembly replacement be followed by careful measurement of the total power supply performance. In
addition, depending on the function of the subassembly, extensive alignment may be
required to restore power supply performance to specified values.
If repairs involving subassembly replacements are required, please contact your local Kepco
representative or the Kepco Sales Engineering department in Flushing, New York, NY.
