OUTPUT
TERMINALS
AND
WIRES
All
four
models
possess
terminal
blocks
on
the
back
panel.
The
terminals
in
the
rear
Include
positive
and
negative
outputs,
positive
and
negative
remote
sense
outputs
and
ground.
NOTE:
The
power
supply
Is
set
at
the
factory
for
local
sense
operation
(l.e.
the
+S
and
-S
terminals
are
strapped
to
the
"+"
and
terminals
by
a
shorting
plug
at
the
rear
terminal
block).
When
operating
In
remote
sense
mode,
remove
the
shorting
plugs
and
refer
to
section
3.3
for
remote
sense
operation.
Additionally,
all
four
models
have
positive,
negative
and
ground
terminals
in
the
front
of
the
unit.
However,
only
the
PPS-1326
and
PPS-10710
have
remote
sense
terminals
via
the
front
panel.
Remote
sense
Is
discussed
In
detail
In
section
3.3.
A
brief
definition
of
remote
sense
Is
a
measurement
of
voltage
at
the
load
rather
than
at
the
output
terminals.
Local
connections
are
made
to
the
"+,”
and
terminals
of
the
power
supply.
Remember
to
connect
only
terminated
loads.
Additionally,
wrap
and
bundle
wires
to
decrease
coupling.
In
order
to
sufficiently
handle
current,
the
proper
wire
size
must
be
selected.
Select
a
wire
size
which
sufficiently
carries
the
current
without
overheating.
Other
factors
to
be
considered
are
the
voltage
drop
and
conductor
temperature.
The
following
table
lists
current
carrying
capacity
of
various
wire
sizes.

THREE:
OPERATING
CHARACTERISTICS
AND
CONFIGURATIONS
3.1
INTRODUCTION
These
sections
contain
Information
on
operating
characteristics
and
how
to
configure
the
PPS
Series.
Sections
3.2
through
3.4
consider
the
power
supplies
operating
ranges,
remote
sense
operation
and
considerations
when
connecting
loads.
The
latter
half
of
the
chapter
deals
with
connecting
power
supplies
In
parallel
and
series
mode
for
CC
and
CV
operation.
3.2
OPERATING
RANGES
All
power
supplies
operate
in
either
constant
voltage
(CV)
or
constant
current
(CC),
over
the
rated
output
.
Their
respective
voltage
and
current
operating
locus
(figure
F)
are
found
in
operating
quadrants
for
dll
four
models.
The
power
supply
acts
as
a
constant
voltage
source
for
comparatively
large
values
of
load
resistance
and
as
a
current
source
for
comparatively
small
values
of
load
resistance.
The
automatic
crossover
or
transition
between
these
two
modes
of
operations
occurs
at
a
critical
stage
or
"crossover"
value
of
load
resistance;
=
E,/I,,
where
E,
is
front
panel
voltage
setting
and
I,
front
panel
current
setting.
The
following
are
the
operating
quadrants
(current
-vs-
voltage)
of
the
power
supplies.

3.3
REMOTE
SENSE
When
the
supply
Is
locally
strapped
for
local
sensing
(normal
operation),
an
unavoidable
voltage
drop
is
developed
In
the
load
leads
and
this
adds
to
Its
voltage
regulation.
By
connecting
the
supply
for
voltage
remote
sensing,
as
shown
In
figure
G,
voltage
Is
sensed
at
the
load
rather
^an
at
the
output
terminals.
This
allows
the
supply
to
automatically
compensate
for
voltage
drop
In
the
load
leads
and
Improve
regulation.
In
remote
sensing,
the
VOITT?
query
and
the
front
panel
meter
monitor
load
voltage
at
the
sensing
points.
When
the
supply
Is
connected
for
remote
sensing,
the
OVP
circuit
senses
at
the
main
output
terminal
and
not
at
the
sense
points.
The
voltage
sensed
by
the
OVP
circuit
could
be
significantly
higher
than
the
voltage
being
regulated
at
the
load.
Therefore,
set
OVP
trip
voltage
accordingly.
3.3.1
REMOTE
SENSE
CONFIGURATION
Turn
off
the
power
supply
before
modifying
any
connections
on
the
rear
panel
terminal
block.
Configure
the
unit
for
remote
sensing
by
first
disconnecting
the
shortlrig
plugs
between
the
sense
and
load
terminals.
Connect
the
load
and
sense
leads
to
the
load
as
In
figure
G.
Bear
In
mind
that
sense
and
load
leads
should
be
as
short
as
possible.
Additionally,
the
sense
and
load
leads
resistance
should
be
no
greater
than
0.5
ohm/lead,
and
the
voltage
drop
should
be
no
greater
than
0.5V/lead.

REMOTE
SENSE
CHARACTERISTICS
CV
REGULATION:
The
CV
load
effect
specification
applies
to
the
rear
terminal
of
the
supply.
When
remote
sensing,
add
0.2mV
{PPS-1322
and
PPS-2322),
0.7mV
(PPS-1326),
or
1.5mV
(PPS-10710)
to
the
load
effect
specification
for
each
IV
drop
In
the
negative
load
lead.
For
example.
If
the
voltage
drop
on
the
negative
load
lead
of
a
PPS-1322
Is
300mV,
add
0.3
x
0.2mV
to
the
CV
load
effect
specification.
10

OUTPUT
NOISE:
Any
noise
picked
up
on
the
sense
leads
will
appear
at
the
supply’s
output
and
may
adversely
affect
CV
load
regulation.
Twist
the
sense
leads
to
minimize
the
pickup
of
external
noise
and
run
them
parallel
and
close
to
the
load
leads.
In
noisy
environments.
It
may
be
necessary
to
shield
the
sense
leads.
Ground
the
shield
at
the
power
supply
end
only.
Do
not
use
the
shield
as
one
of
the
sensing
conductors.
STABILITY:
When
the
supply
Is
connected
for
remote
sensing.
It
Is
possible
for
the
impedance
of
the
load
wires
and
the
capacitance
of
the
load
to
form
a
filter,
which
will
become
part
of
the
supply’s
CV
feedback
loop.
The
extra
phase
shift
created
by
this
filter
can
degrade
the
supply’s
stability
and
can
result
in
poor
transient
response
performance.
In
extreme
cases,
it
can
cause
oscillations.
It
Is
difficult
to
state
simple
rules
defining
the
conditions
under
which
this
can
occur,
and
which
corrective
action
to
take.
A
certain
amount
of
trial
and
error
may
be
called
for.
Two
guidelines
which
are
almost
always
valid
are:
a.
Keep
the
leads
as
short
as
possible.
b.
Twist
the
load
leads
together
to
minimize
inductance.
In
most
circumstances,
once
these
two
guidelines
are
followed,
problems
associated
with
the
load
lead
inductance
are
eliminated.
This
leaves
the
load
lead
resistance
and
load
capacitance
as
the
major
cause
of
the
reduced
stability.
In
this
case,
you
may
obtain
further
improvement
to
the
stability
by:
a.
Keeping
the
load
capacitance
as
small
as
possible.
b.
Increasing
the
diameter
of
the
load
lead
to
reduce
resistance.
If
heavier
gauge
load
leads
{
#10
or
greater
)
are
used,
circumstances
may
arise
when
the
load
lead
inductance
and
the
load
capacitance
can
form
an
underdamped
filter.
This
filter
occasionally
has
the
effect
of
destabilizing
phase
response.
In
this
case,
the
above
steps
can
worsen
stability
since
they
will
reduce
damping
in
the
system.
3.4
LOAD
CONSIDERATION
AND
CONNECTING
MULTIPLE
LOADS
When
the
supply
Is
in
local
sensing
mode
and
you
are
connecting
multiple
loads
to
the
output,
connect
each
load
to
the
output
terminal
using
separate
load
leads.
This
minimizes
mutual
coupling
effects
and
takes
full
advantages
of
the
supply’s
low
output
resistance.
Each
pair
of
wires
should
be
as
short
as
possible
and
twisted
or
bundled
to
reduce
lead
inductance
and
noise
pickup.
If
cabling
considerations
require
the
use
of
distribution
terminals
that
are
located
remotely
from
the
supply,
connect
the
power
supply
output
terminals
to
the
remote
distribution
terminals
by
a
pair
of
twisted
or
bundled
wires.
Connect
each
load
to
the
distribution
terminals
separately.
Remote
voltage
sensing
is
recommended
in
these
circumstances.
Sense
either
at
the
remote
distribution
terminals
or,
if
one
load
is
more
sensitive
than
the
others,
directly
at
the
critical
load.
OUTPUT
ISOLATION:
The
output
of
the
power
supply
is
Isolated
from
earth
ground.
Either
output
terminal
may
be
grounded,
or
an
external
source
of
voltage
may
be
connected
between
either
output
and
ground.
However,
both
output
terminals
must
be
kept
within
+/-240Vdc
of
ground.
'ITils
includes
the
output
voltage.
An
earth
ground
terminal
is
provided
on
the
rear
panel
terminal
block.
Each
of
the
power
supplies
will
operate
accordingly
to
the
various
types
of
loads
connected
to
the
output.

CAPACITANCE
LOADING;
In
normal
conditions,
the
supply
will
be
stable
for
almost
any
size
load
capacitance
(for
remote
sense
stability
considerations).
However,
large
load
capacitance
may
cause
ringing
In
the
supply’s
transient
response.
It
Is
even
possible
that
certain
combinations
of
capacitance
and
ESR
(equivalent
series
resistance)
will
result
In
Instability.
If
this
Is
the
case,
the
solution
is
to
Increase
or
decrease
total
load
capacitance.
In
addition,
the
overvoltage
protection
SCR
crowbar
circuit
has
been
designed
to
discharge
capacitance
up
to
a
certain
limit.
These
limits
are:
model
PPS-1322
:
3000uf
model
PPS-1326
:
3000uf
(high
range),
SOOOuf
(low
range)
model
PPS-2322
:
3000uf
for
both
outputs
model
PPS-10710:
3000uf
If
load
capacitance
approaches
these
limits.
It
Is
recommended
to
not
Intentionally
trip
the
OVP
and
discharge
the
capacitance
through
the
SCR
crowbar
as
part
of
standard
testing
procedure.
3.5
PARALLEL
OPERATION
NOTE:
Power
supplies
equipped
with
SCR
crowbars
should
not
be
used
In
series
or
parallel
with
each
other
unless
a
master-slave
Intercormectlon
Is
employed
and
their
crowbars
Interlock.
Greater
current
capability
can
be
achieved
by
cormecttng
outputs
In
parallel.
However,
only
power
supplies
which
have
equivalent
voltage
and
current
output
ratings
may
be
connected
in
parallel.
Otherwise,
damage
to
the
unit
may
result.
A
typical
coimectlon
Is
shown
In

through
the
back
of
a
PPS-2322
In

All
leads
are
kept
as
short
as
possible
and
are
bundled
together.
Second,
cormect
remote

to
compensate
for
the

CV
OPERATION
Although
both
outputs
operate
Independently
of
each
other
In
CV
operation,
one
of
the
outputs
must
dominate
(control)
over
the
other.
Additionally,
the
dominant
output
must
operate
In
CV
12

mode,
while
the
other
output
may
operate
In
CC
mode.
As
an
example
of
this
operation,
let’s
assume
In
figure
H.
that
output
two
operates
In
CC
mode
and
output
one
operates
in
CV
mode.
Perform
the
following
steps:
1.
Set
output
two
to
the
maximum
output
voltage
of
desired
range.
2.
Set
output
one
to
the
desired
operating
voltage.
The
voltage
of
output
one
controls
the
voltage
across
the
load.
The
output
currents
are
algebraic
sums
of
the
Individual
outputs.
3.5.2
CC
OPERATION
The
CC
operation
Is
similar
In
many
ways
to
the
CV
operation,
except
that
the
output
current
must
also
be
set.
To
obtain
CC
operation,
perform
the
following
steps:
1.
Program
both
output
voltages
to
the
desired
operating
voltage.
2.
Program
output
one
to
one-half
the
desired

3.
Program

to
one-half
the
desired
operating
current.
Both
outputs
operate
In

External
Analog
Programming
(PPS-1603
only)
The
voltage
and
current
outputs
of
the
PPS-1603
can
be
programmed
by
an
external
analog
voltage.
The
outputs
are
linearly
proportioned
to
an
external
input
voltage
from
0
to
10
volts.
The
external
analog
programming
mode
is
activated
by
setting
these
parameters
via
the
front
panel
or
GPIB
bus,
VSET
to
OV,
ISET
to
a
proper
value
for
CV
operation,
or
setting
ISETT
to
OA
and
VSET
to
a
proper
value
for
CC
operation.
To
control
the
output
voltage
with
the
analog
programming
mode
requires
the
following
procedure,
apply
the
external
0
to
lOV
source
(Vv-pgm)
between
Vp
(positive),
and
(common)
terminals.
These
Input
terminals
are
located
at
the
rear
of
the
PPS-1603,
see
figure
L.
The
control
output
voltage
is;
Vout
=
Vv-pgm
*
(Rated
Maximum
Output
Voltage/
10)
To
control
the
output
current
with
the
analog
programming
mode
requires
the
following
procedure,
apply
the
external
0
to
lOV
source
(Vi-pgm)
between
Ip
(positive)
and^I
(common)
terminals,
see
figure
L.
The
control
output
current
Is:
lout
=
Vi-pgm
*
(Rated
Maximum
output
current
/
10)
To
control
both
voltage
and
current
simultaneously
In
the
external
programming
method
requires
that
the
user
apply
two
senerate
Isolated
0
to
lOV
supplies.
15

Normally
Vp,
-^V,
Ip,
and
are
strapped
by
steel
plates.
Do
not
remove
the

4.1
INTRODUCTION
These
sections
contain
Information
on
how
to
locally
program
the
PPS
Series.
Upon
powering
up,
the
power
supplies
default
to
local
mode
of
operation.
Local
operation
Is
signified
by

on
the
LCD.
When
"LOC"
Is
In
effect,
all
front
panel
keys
may
be
used
to
control
the
power
supply.
NOTE:
1.
The
PPS
series
of
power
supplies
and
their
operations
are
Identical.
However,
two
of
the
supplies
provide
more
functions
(l.e.
PPS-2322
has
dual
outputs
and
PPS-1326
has
two
output
operating
ranges)
which
may
slightly
alter
or
add
to
programming
conditions.
TTierefore,
refer
to
approplate
sections
for
these
operations.
2.
The
PPS-1322
and
PPS-10710
are
Identical
hi
operation.
However
their
outputs
differ.
All
operations
performed
In
local
