Safety
Warnings and cautions are defined and formatted in this manual as shown below.
WARNING
Describes a potential hazard which could result in injury or death, or, a procedure
which, if not performed correctly, could result in injury or death.
CAUTION
Describes a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in damage
to data, equipment, or systems.
WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage
Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels
can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal
operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on
the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater
than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after
power is removed.
CAUTION
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. To
ensure that the power supply’s safety features are not compromised, use the
power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any
unauthorized modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair
help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only.
CAUTION
For Use as a Battery Charger
When you are using any of these power supplies for battery charging applications,
it is essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series
between the power supply output and the battery.
Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker) rated for about 115% of the
maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to interrupt
the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate reverse polarity current
protection. Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each one,
rather than one large fuse for all.

Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply
Section 1. About The XDC Power Supply
Overview
The XDC Series of digital, programmable DC power supplies is designed for use in
OEM, ATE, burn-in, magnet charging, and other high power systems for a broad
range of applications. The XDC uses our newly developed digital technology which,
combined with “Soft Switching,” provides superior performance and a high level of
user control through both front panel and remote interfaces.
Features
• Digital processing for highly accurate control
• Ten, 99-step auto sequences for easy bench-top programming of complex test
routines
• Ten stored settings
• Zero voltage (soft) switching for low noise output, improved efficiency and
higher reliability
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) for lower input current draw and lower
current harmonic generation
• Remote voltage sense with 5V line drop compensation
• Automatic Voltage/Current mode crossover
• Constant power mode
• Seven load protection mechanisms
• Alarms and messages for over- and under-programmed trip points
• Auxiliary status lines for monitoring power supply conditions
• Remote interlock and trigger ports
• Selectable standby, last setting, programmed sequence and other power-on
defaults
• Active current sharing with parallel connected units for higher power
requirements*
• Standard RS-232 remote control interface and optional GPIB (IEEE 488.2) port
• CANbus communications link for multichannel addressing, and master/slave
current sharing*
• Extensive SCPI command set
• Keypad, knobs, and arrow keys for fast and tactile front panel operation
Release 3.0 21
About The XDC Power Supply
Front Panel
• Bright vacuum fluorescent display with annunciators to indicate complete
supply status at a glance
• Front panel, software-based calibration
• Fully isolated analog programming and readback capabilities
• CE Mark, CSA Certified, FCC Compliance, UL (pending)
*These features are available on 6000 Watt units when the power supply is equipped
with the optional GPIB/CANbus interface card.
