Wire Gauge considerations

Before connecting the unit to a power source, the wire gauge must be taken into account. Load wires must be large enough to resist overheating when a short-circuit condition occurs as well as to maintain a good regulation. The size, polarity and length of a wire are all factors in determining if a wire will withstand short circuiting.

Wires that are selected must be large enough to withstand a short circuit and limit voltage drops to no more than 2V per wire. Use the table below to help make a suitable selection.

Load Line Inductance Considerations

When using the LSG-H Series load generator, voltage drop and voltage generated due to load line inductance and current change must be taken into account. Extreme changes in voltage may exceed the minimum or maximum voltage limits. Exceeding the maximum voltage limit may damage the LSG-H Series.

To determine the voltage generated, the following equation can be used. E = L x (∆ I / ∆ T)

E= voltage generated L=load line inductance

∆ I= change of current (A) ∆ T= time (us)

Load line inductance (L) can be approximated as 1uH per 1 meter of wire. (∆ I / ∆ T) is the slew rate in A/us.

The diagram above shows how changes in current can affect voltage.

∆ I

Time

Min. V

Limiting Load line inductance

Load line inductance can be reduced in two methods.

Method 1

Ensure load wires are as short as possible and twist the positive and negative load wires together.

“Twisted pair” will be shown on any connection diagram

where the load wires should be twisted together.

Method 2

Current change can be limited by limiting the slew rate or response speed when switching in CR and CC mode.

1-4-6. Load Wire Connections

Description

The LSG-H Series has input terminals on both the front and rear panels. Follow the procedures below for all load connections. Please adhere to the following precautions to ensure your safety and to protect the unit from damage.

Connection

When connecting the LSG-H Series to the power source, make sure that the polarity of the connection between the DUT and the unit matches.

Ensure that the maximum input voltage is not exceeded. The maximum input voltage is 800 volts.

Caution

If the polarity to the input terminals is reversed, the reverse voltage protection function is tripped. The reverse voltage protection function is tripped when reverse voltages greater than about -0.3V are detected.

Warning

Do not touch any of the input terminals when the voltage is applied to an input terminal.

Warning

Connecting the input terminals to the wrong polarity can damage the power source or the LSG-H Series.

Warning

The front panel and rear panel input terminals are physically connected. Any voltage that is input to one set of terminals will also appear on the other set of terminals.

DUT

1-4-7. Using the Front Panel Input Terminals

Description

The front panel input terminals feature polarity-distinct caps and accept M6 sized crimped terminals.

Caution

The front panel input terminals on the LSG-H Series are physically connected to the rear panel terminals.

Step

1. Turn the power off from the rear panel or put the unit into standby mode.

2. Turn the power off from the power source.

3. Connect the load wires to the input terminals: Connect the positive (+) input terminal on the load generator to the high potential output of the power source. Connect the negative (-) input terminal to the low potential output of the power source.

2. Turn the power off from the power source.

+ potentinal

- potential

1-4-9. Using the Terminal Cover (PEL -011)

Description

The rear panel terminal cover should be used to prevent electric shock. The rear panel terminal covers should always be used when connecting a load to the rear panel terminals. As the front panel and rear panel terminals are physically connected, the terminal cover should also be used as a safety measure when a power source is connected to the front terminals

Caution

Ensure the power is off before making any connections to the LSG-H Series.

Note: In the following diagrams, the cable wiring is not

shown for clarity.

Steps(1/2)

1. Remove the screw holding the top cover to the bottom cover.

2. Line-up the bottom covers with the notches in the output terminals.

3. Place the top terminal cover over the bottom cover.

Steps(2/2)

4. Use your thumb to slide the terminal covers shut, as shown in the diagram below.

5. When the top and bottom covers are flush, reinsert the screw that was removed in step 1.

1-4-10. Using the Terminal Cover (PEL -013)

Description

The flexible rear panel terminal cover should be used when the load wiring becomes too thick to be used with the PEL-011 terminal cover. This is especially true when using the load generators in parallel. Like the PEL-013 terminal cover, the PEL-011 is used to prevent electric shock. The rear panel terminal covers should always be used when connecting a load to the rear panel terminals.

Caution

Ensure the power is off before making any connections to the booster pack.

Steps

1. Wrap the insulation sheets around the terminals and load cables, as shown below. Make sure the terminals and any exposed wires are covered by the sheets.

Insulation sheet

2. Secure the insulation sheets using the supplied velcro fasteners. 2 fasteners should be used for each sheet.

Fasteners

1-4-11. Using the Terminal Cover

Description

After connection is finished, please lock terminal cover to avoid electric shock when using the frame control terminal.

Caution

Ensure the power is off, before making any connections to the booster pack.

Steps

Install the terminal cover as shown in the picture below.

1-4-12. Using the Monitor out Cover

Description

After connection is finished, please lock monitor out cover to avoid electric shock when not using the monitor out ports.

Steps

Install the monitor out cover as shown in the picture below.

1-4-13. Remote Sense

Description

Remote sense can be used to help compensate for long cable length. The longer the cable, the higher the potential resistance and inductance, therefore a short cable is best. Twisting the cable can help reduce induced inductance and using the remote sensing terminals compensates the voltage drop seen across the load leads, especially leads with higher resistance. This is useful when used in CV, CR or CP mode.

Steps

1. Turn the power off from the rear panel or put the unit into standby mode.

2. Turn the power off from the power source.

3. Connect the sense wires to the remote sensing terminals: Connect the positive sense (+S) terminal to the high potential output of the power source. Connect the negative sense (-S) terminal to the low potential output of the power source.

2-8. Save / Recall

The LSG-H Series can save and recall system settings, preset data, memory data, Go-NoGo settings as well as normal and fast sequences to internal memory or to USB.

2-8-1. File Structure

Description

The LSG-H Series file system can save files to internal memory (Media | Memory) and external memory (Media | USB). To save or recall Memory, Setup or Preset data, the LSGH Series uses a three tier system where files are saved or recalled in the following order: Active settings <> Internal memory <> USB. This can be best described in the picture below.

Local Memory

Media | Memory

Media | USB

Memory data

Setup data x1 Nseq. data x1

Fseq. data x1

Preset data x1

Memory data (M001 ~ M256)

Setup data (001 ~ 100)

Nseq. data x1 Fseq. data x1

Preset data (P0 ~ P9)

Active Settings

Memory data x1

For example: To load Preset Data P7 from USB, you must first load Preset Data P0~P9 to internal memory, then from internal memory load Preset P7 to be the active preset setting. For normal and fast sequences however, files can be saved or recalled directly to/from USB memory.

2-8-2. File Types

3-2. Program function

The LSG-H Series can create programs that are designed to step-through up to 16 pre-set load operations. The program function is a powerful tool that can allow you to perform a number of different operations in succession.

The execution time of each step is user-defined. Programs can be chained together to make larger programs. Up to 16 programs can be created for a program chain.

See page 75 for saving load operations (2-8.Save / Recall).

3-2-1. Program function Overview

Description

When you run a program, you are essentially executing up to 16 different load operations consecutively. Each of

the different load operations are “steps” in the program. A
