Important Safety Instructions

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.

WARNING: Limitations on use

The XDC is not intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

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 su pply 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.

About The XDC Power Supply

Overview of Operation

Power ON

Power ON describes the period between the time the AC power is turned ON and the time the power supply is ready for normal operation. Each supply comes with a series of factory default settings that may be in effect at the conclusion of the Power ON period. These include:

• Output OFF: No current is sent to the DC output connections. You must press Out ON/OFF to activate the supply output.

• Voltage 0V: The Voltage setpoint is zero.

• Current 0A: The Current setpoint is zero.

• Local mode operation

The output state depends on the Power ON output setting. You can customize the Power ON settings to suit your needs. See “Configure Power ON Settings” on page 3–29 for more information.

Control Modes

One local method and 4 remote methods are available for controlling the power supply:

• Local Mode: Where the user operates the menu keypad and knobs

• RS-232: Where the user operates the supply remotely through a serial port connection (standard feature).

• GPIB: Where the user operates the supply remotely through the faster General Purpose Interface Bus. The GPIB bus follows the IEEE 488.2 standard and is an optional feature of this power supply.

• Multichannel: Where the user operates the supply remotely through the optional multichannel link between 2 or more (up to 50) power supplies (optional feature).

• Analog: Where the user operates the supply remotely through the isolated analog programming and readback port (standard feature). Three options are available:

• Analog V and I

• Analog V

• Analog I

Each of these methods is referred to as a control mode.

Inspection, Cleaning, and Packaging

Initial Inspection

When you receive your power supply, do a quick visual check.

1. Ensure that the box contains the power supply, the operating manual, the AC input cover and strain relief, and the output cover.

2. Inspect the unit for scratches and cracks as well as broken switches, connectors, or displays.

2–2 TM-XDOP-01XN

If the unit is damaged, save all packaging materials and notify the carrier immediately. Follow the instructions in “Warranty and Product Information” and the instructions on page 2–3 to return the unit.

Maintenance

Routine servicing of the power supply is not required except for periodic cleaning. Whenever a unit is removed from operation, clean the metal surfaces with naphtha or an equivalent mild solvent, and clean the front panel with a damp cloth using a weak solution of soap and water. Use low-pressure compressed air to blow dust from in and around vent openings and components on the printed circuit boards.

Packaging for Shipping or Storage

Follow these instructions to prepare the power supply for shipping or storage.

1. When returning the unit or sending it to the service center, attach a tag to the

unit stating its model number (located on the front panel label) and serial number (located on the rear panel label). Give the date of purchase and an invoice number, if you have it, as well as a brief description of the problem.

2. For storage and shipping, repack the power supply in its original container. If

the original container is not available, seal the unit in a plastic bag and then pack it into a wooden or sturdy cardboard box large enough to allow 2 in. (5cm) of cushioning material to surround the unit. For cushioning, use material such as foam slabs that are capable of supporting the unit.

3. Label the box as shown below in Figure 2-1.

4. If shipping, mark the service center address and your return address on the

carton.

5. If storing, stack no more than 5 boxes high. Check the storage tempe rature

Installation

Location, Mounting, and Ventilation

Use the power supply in rack-mounted applications only. The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483mm) equipment rack.

Rack Mounting

WARNING: High energy and high voltage

Ensure that the 8-32 rack mounting screws do not extend more than 1/8 in. (3.0mm) into the sides of the power supply.

To install the power supply in an equipment rack:

1. Open the box containing the unit. See Figure 2-2.

2. With the help of at least one other person, lift the unit out of its package and slide it into an empty space in a mounting rack equipped with rails that are rated to support the unit’s weight. See Figure 2-3. On 12000 Watt units, remove the temporary lifting handles before installing the unit in a rack.

CAUTION

The power supply is too heavy for one person to safely lift and mount. To avoid injury, ask a co-worker for assistance.

3. While your assistant(s) holds the unit steady, fasten it to the rack by inserting bolts through the mounting brackets on either side of the front pan el and securing them with a washer and nut.

4. The front panel mounting brackets are designed to prevent the unit from sliding out of the rack, not to support its full weight. Provide adequate support for the rear of the unit without obstructing the ventilation inlets. Use slide rails as illustrated in Figure 2-3 or slide brackets attached to the 8-32 mounting holes on each side of the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install rails or slides.

Installation

3. Turn the front panel AC power switch to ON.

After a short power-on delay, the front panel digital meters and the CV annunciator illuminate. Both voltmeter and ammeter displays should read zero.

Check the front panel annunciators. If OUT ON is illuminated, press OUT ON/ OFF to disable the output. The OUT OFF annunciator should now be illuminated. For an illustration of the annunciators and their locations, see “Status Annunciators” on page 1–9.

If the ERR indicator is lit, see “Read Error Messages” on page 3–26 or page 4–35 on how to read an error message, and consult Appendix D to determine the meaning of the error. If an unexpected error persists after the power has been cycled, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Voltage Mode Operation Check

WARNING

On units rated higher than 40V, ensure that the electrical connections are protected to prevent accidental contact.

CAUTION

When making connections to the bus bars, ensure that each terminal’s mounting hardware and wiring assembly are placed so they don’t touch the other terminal and short the power supply outlet. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief so the connections aren’t loosened and the bus bars aren’t bent.

To complete the voltage mode operation check:

1. Ensure that the OUT OFF annunciator is illuminated. If OUT ON is illuminated, press OUT ON/OFF.

2. Connect a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) to the output terminals on the rear panel, observing correct polarity.

Installation

Load Wiring

When connecting load wiring to the power supply , consider the following factors:

• Current carrying capacity of the wire

• Maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines

• Noise and impedance effects of the load lines

Current Carrying Capacity

As a minimum, load wiring must have a constant capacity greater than the output current rating of the power supply. This ensures that the wiring will not be damaged even if the load is shorted. Table 2-4. shows the maximum current rating, based on 450A per square centimeter, for various gauges of wire rated for 105°C operation. Operating at the maximum current rating results in a temperature rise of approximately 30°C for a wire operating in free air. Where load wiring must operate in areas with elevated ambient temperatures or bundled with other wiring, use larger gauges or higher temperature-rated wiring. For high current applications, custom-designed bus bars are typically used. To increase the current carrying capability, use parallel cables.

Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines

For applications using remote sensing, or for improved voltage regulation at the load, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (1V maximum), although units will compensate for up to 5V drop in each line with the remote sense lines connected.

2–16 TM-XDOP-01XN

Noise and Impedance Effects

To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use the shortest possible length of shielded-twisted pair wiring for load lines. Connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel mounting screw. Where shielding is not possible or is impractical, twisting the wires together offers some noise immunity. When using local sense connections, use the largest practical wire size to minimize the effects of load line impedance on the regulation of the supply.

WARNING

Exercise caution when operating the power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potential ly let hal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed.

CAUTION

When making connections to the bus bars, ensure that each terminal’s mounting hardware and wiring assembly are placed to avoid touching the other terminal and shorting the power supply outlet. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief so they don’t loosen the connections or bend the bus bars.

Make load connections at the rear of the power supply at the positive and negative output bus bars or to the 4-terminal wire clamp connector, depending on the model. (See Figure 2-7.)

Wire Size

Isolation

Single Load

The wire should be one size larger than necessary to accommodate the required output current. Normally, the next largest commonly used gauge is used. For example, use 10AWG for 20A, and 8AWG for 30A.

The wire must have a suitable insulating coating that will prevent arcing between the positive and negative output current, and must be rated for 105

To connect a single load to the DC output bus bars (10–150V outputs):

1. Ensure that the power supply is powered OFF.

2. Place a bolt in the connecting hole of the negative bus bar, and fasten the negative wire or bus bar, a washer, and a nut to the bolt.

3. Using a wrench, turn the bolt until it is secure at approximately 25 footpounds (34Nm).

4. Fasten the positive wire or bus bar to the positive bus, using a bolt, washer, and nut.

6. Ensure that the positive and negative wires are arranged so bare wires do not

come into contact with each other or the chassis.

To connect the DC output wire clamp connectors (300V, 600V outputs):

◆ Connect appropriately sized wires as described in steps 1 to 6 above, except

strip 0.5 in. (14mm) of insulation off each load wire, and clamp in the output connector by securely tightening the vertical clamp screw for each output.

To connect multiple loads in parallel:

◆ Follow the “Single Load” procedure with the following exception:

T o minimize interaction between loads, bring the wiring for each load directly back to the supply output. When each load to the power supply is wired separately, the loads will see only the precisely regulated output from the supply. If 2 loads share a single cable, the fluctuation in current to one load will cause the voltage to vary on the others. This is due to wire impedance drops.

Installation

Remote Sensing

The power supply regulates the output voltage at the output connectors in its normal configuration without remote sense lines connected.

Remote sensing lets the power supply track and regulate the output voltage at the load, and thereby compensate for the voltage drop in the load lines. The power supply will only compensate within the limitations of its voltage rating, to a maximum of 5V per load line. Remote sensing is normally only required for critical loads which cannot tolerate the slight voltage drop in the load lines caused by their resistance. Remote sensing has no effect when the power supply is operating in Constant Current mode.

Two remote sensing connectors are located on the rear panel of the power supply. See Figure 1-6 on page 1–1 1 for location and p olarity. Connect 2 wires from these ports to the load, where the power supply cables terminate for your connection. Carefully observe the correct polarity when making the connection. On 12000 Watt units, connect the sense wires to the connector on the top or master power module.

The remote sensing input is sensitive to electrical noise, so always use a shielded twisted pair, 22AWG or greater for the sense line cable. Terminate the shield to the supply chassis or the negative output of the power supply for best results.

Brief descriptions are provided of Constant Voltage, Constant Current, and Constant Power modes.

Operation

Overview

Once you have installed the power supply and connected both the AC input power and the load as explained in Chapter 2, “Installation”, the power supply is in its default configuration and is ready to operate in local control mode.

Powering ON the Power Supply

WARNING

The factory setting for Power ON is 0V and 0A with the output OFF. These settings can be customized by end users. If you suspect that the power supply has been used by someone else since it was received from the factory, be prepared for the unit to power ON with a live DC output.

To power on the power supply:

1. Ensure that the AC power switch is OFF.

2. Connect the unit to an AC outlet.

3. Turn on the front panel AC power switch.

After a short power-on delay, the digital meters on the front panel and the CV annunciator illuminate. The voltmeter and ammeter displays should read zero.

Check the front panel annunciators. If OUT ON is illuminated, press OUT ON/ OFF to disable it. The OUT OFF annunciator should now be illuminated. For an illustration of the annunciators and their locations, see Figure 1-5.

Powering OFF the Power Supply

From the front panel, the safest method for shutting down the power supply is:

Power Supply Operating States

The power supply has 5 operating states:

•Power-On

• Output Shutdown

•Soft Start

• Normal Operation

• Calibration

Power-On This is the period between the time that AC power is applied to the supply (AC

breaker turned on) and the time that the power supply is ready for operation. During this period, the internal circuits are powering up and performing self-tests. At the end of the Power-On period, the supply is normally in its default Power-On mode with the output OFF, V

Output Shutdown

Soft Start In this state, the output power is ramping up gradually towards its tar get load. This

In this state, the output is disabled and there is no output regardless of power settings. The power supply can be placed in the Output Shutdown state by a command (via the front panel or from the programming interface), via the Interlock signal, or from a protection mechanism. This is also called the Standby mode.

Operation

Power Supply Regulation Modes

The power supply has 3 regulation modes while in the Normal Operation State:

• Constant Voltage (CV)

• Constant Current (CC)

• Constant Power (CP)

The CV, CC, and CP annunciators indicate the regulation mode.

Constant Voltage (CV)

Constant Current (CC)

Constant Power (CP)

Automatic Mode Crossover

In this mode, the supply’s output voltage is constant while the current and power vary with the load. The power supply will operate in constant voltage mode whenever the load current I (I

In this mode, the supply’s output power is constant while the voltage and current vary with the load resistance. The power supply will operate in Constant Power mode when the power drawn by the load is equal to the power setpoint and the product of the voltage and current setpoint (V power limit point (P the output power at the selected value (P current I

This feature allows the power supply to automatically switch operating modes in response to changing load requirements. If, for example, the power supply was operating in Constant Voltage (CV) Mode (I load current (I

If the additional load was subsequently removed so the load current was again LESS THAN the current limit setting, the supply would automatically return to Constant Voltage (CV) Mode.

Remote Control Modes

A number of control interfaces are available. You can control the power supply remotely using 0–5V or 0–10V signals via the remote analog programming interface or from a remote terminal using a remote digital interface. A remote digital interface following RS-232 protocol is standard. An optional remote digital interface following IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) protocol is also available. An optional CANbus port is also available which enables multi-channel communication from a single GPIB address, and supports current sharing with parallel connected units. (For detailed information, see Chapter 4, “Remote Operation”.)

Front Panel Controls

The power supply is shipped ready to operate in local mode. The factory default power-on setting is 0V, 0A with the DC output turned off.

This section describes the function keys, menu options, and control knobs that you use to operate the power supply. (Additional details about the front panel keys, control knobs, and display annunciators are provided in Chapter 1, “About The XDC Power Supply”.)

The next section (“Power Supply Operation” on page 3–8) provides details about configuring and operating the power supply.

15. MODEL INFO: Displays make, electrical ratings, ROM version, FPGA version, and SCPI version. (See “View Model Information” on page 3–50.)

The Voltage and Current knobs are the simplest way to control the power supply. The Voltage and Current knobs are digital encoders, and therefore, there are no

start or end points to their rotation, and their rotation positions are meaningless when the power supply is powered OFF. The control knobs can be disabled through a menu command. See “Lock Out Control Knobs” on p age 3–44 for more information.

Set Output Protection

Seven configurable protection mechanisms are available:

• OVP: Over-Voltage Protection. Factory default = 103% V

• UVP: Under-Voltage Protection. Factory default = 0V (disabled)

• OCP: Over-Current Protection. Factory default = 0A (disabled)

• UCP: Under-Current Protection. Factory default = 0A (disabled)

• OPP: Over-Power Protection. Factory default = 0W (disabled)

• UPP: Under-Power Protection. Factory default = 0W (disabled)

• Fold: Fold Protection. (See below.) OVP shuts down the power supply if the protection limit is exceeded. The other

options offer a choice: they shut down the power supply or issue a warning. When the protection level is set to zero, that mechanism is considered disabled. However, in the case of OVP, a hardware protection mechanism still exists.

The last protection mechanism is Fold Mode protection, when the unit will shut down if it enters the selected regulation mode for a specified period of time.

Other protection mechanisms designed to protect the power supply are:

• AC Off: AC Off protection will disable the output if the AC line drops below

the acceptable range.

• High Temperature Alarm: A High Temperature condition will queue an

alarm message when the temperature of critical internal components nears the maximum operating temperature.

• Over Temperature Protection (OTP): An over temperature condition will

disable the output.

• Sense Protection: Sense Protection will disable the output when the internal

sense circuit is tripped by either reversed polarity at the output of the supply or a high voltage present at the output.

• Slave Shutdown Alarm: Slave Shutdown Alarm (12000 Watts only) will

disable the output when one of the protection mechanisms has been enacted in the slave unit.

RATED

Recovery options are available for AC Off, OTP and Slave Shutdown. Also, see “Status Registers” on page 4–43.

Set Shutdown Recovery for AC Off and OTP

The Shutdown Recovery menu offers 2 options for AC Off (ACO) and OverTemperature protection (OTP):

• Auto-Recovery: With this method, the power supply returns to its normal

operating state once the alarm condition no longer exists. For example, if there was an over-temperature alarm and the protection was set to autorecovery , the power supply would return to its normal operating state once the temperature was reduced below the alarm level.

• Latched: With this method, the power supply remains in Shutdown state until

the operator manually clears the protection level and manually turns the output back on.

You can set either or both the OTP and AC Off to Auto-Recovery or Latched.

RECALL

ENTER

User Set 1 This setting is retrieved from memory, the power supply’s output

changes to match the setting, and the display returns to its default operating mode.

Four options are available from the Recall memory:

1. Last Setting: Returns the setpoints to values stored before power was turned

off.

2. User Settings: Returns the setpoints to one of ten possible saved value s.

3. Factory Preset: Returns the setpoints to the original out-of-the-box values.

4. Auto Sequence: Returns control of the setpoints to one of ten possible saved

programs. (For further information, see “Program Auto Sequence” on page 3–

33.)

To access these options, press RECALL repeatedly until the correct option appears, or press the arrow keys. Pressing RECALL lets you scroll through the options in the direction listed above. Pressing the arrow keys lets you cycle through the options in either direction.

Configure Power ON Settings

The Power ON configuration can be set with 4 options:

• Factory Preset: Where the Power ON output is reset to the original factory

levels. These include: Output=OFF, V

• Last Setting: Where the Power ON output is set to the same level as when it

was last powered OFF. This is useful for automatic recovery from short power failures.

• User Settings: Where the Power ON output is set to a stored setting that is

recalled from memory. See “Store User Settings” on page 3–21.

• Auto Sequence: Where the Power ON output can be recalled from memory.

See “Using Auto Sequencing” on page 3–42.

The output state also depends on the Power ON Output setting. The values listed above are true only if the OUT ON? setting is Yes. Otherwise Output is off (unit in Standby mode).

See “Recall Settings” on page 3–23 for settings affected by the Power ON feature. Each of the 4 Power ON configuration options can be accessed from the Front

Panel menus or remotely through a set of digital commands. The procedures that follow show how to use the Front Panel menus.

Program Auto Sequence

The AUTO SEQ PGM menu option is used to set up command programs for automated operation. There are 10 programmable sequences with up to 99 steps per sequence.

Each sequence can be repeated a programmable number of times or forever. If the sequence contains steps that advance by a trigger event, a single trigger source can be selected to advance those steps.

Each step can be programmed to set the voltage setpoint, current setpoint, power setpoint, and OVP level automatically. Each step can also be programmed to advance by a delayed time or a trigger event. The duration of each step may range from 10 ms to 99 hours.
