Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific
WARNINGS given elsewhere in this manual will violate safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Chroma assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the power is set to match the rated input of this power
supply.
PROTECTIVE GROUNDING
Make sure to connect the protective grounding to prevent an electric
shock before turning on the power.
NECESSITY OF PROTECTIVE GROUNDING
Never cut off the internal or external protective grounding wire, or
disconnect the wiring of protective grounding terminal. Doing so will
cause a potential shock hazard that may bring injury to a person.
FUSES
Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Do not use repaired
fuses or short-circuited fuse holders. To do so could cause a shock or
fire hazard.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. The instrument should be used in an environment of good
ventilation.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OF THE INSTRUMENT
Operating personnel must not remove the cover of the instrument.
Component replacement and internal adjustment can be done only by
qualified service personnel.
WARNING
Touching the output terminal on the rear panel when the power or
current is set and outputting may result in personal injury or death.

viii
Safety Symbols
DANGER –High voltage.
Explanation: To avoid injury, death of personnel, or damage to the
instrument, the operator must refer to the explanation in the
instruction manual.
High temperature: This symbol indicates the temperature is
hazardous to human beings. Do not touch it to avoid any personal
injury.
Protective grounding terminal: This symbol indicates that the
terminal must be connected to ground before operation of the
equipment to protect against electrical shock in case of a fault.
Functional grounding: To identify an earth (ground) terminal in
cases where the protective ground is not explicitly stated. This
symbol indicates the power connector does not provide grounding.
Frame or chassis: To identify a frame or chassis terminal.
Alternating Current (AC)
Direct Current (DC) / Alternating Current (AC)

WARNING
The WARNING sign highlights an essential operating or maintenance
procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc., which if not strictly
observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long term
health hazards.
CAUTION
The CAUTION sign highlights an essential operating or maintenance
procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc., which if not strictly
observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of, equipment.

1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
Chroma 62000H Series with Solar Array Simulation are high power density DC Power
Supplies that can provide stable DC output and accurate measurement for voltage and
current.
The features of 62000H Series with Solar Array Simulation DC Power Supply are:
(1) The output is able to simulate the I-V curve of solar panel module with Programming
Mode provided.
(2) Voltage mode with two loops control able to provide stable and quick responded
output, also to set the slew rate of output voltage and current.
(3) High power density output the maximum output power can up to 15kW under 3U
height.
(4) 16-bit ADC/16-bit DAC provides excellent resolution.
(5) Lower transient spike and transient response time makes the unit under test gets the
most stable output and the best protection under the circumstance of load variation
(6) Editing mode (Programming Mode) for output waveform provides multiple output
voltage and current combinations in real time for long period test.
(7) Rotary knob and keyboard control on the front panel to set the output voltage and
current.
(8) VFD panel gives users a high brightness and wide view angle interface for operation.
(9) Via GPIB/Ethernet (option), USB, RS-232/RS-485 or APG (analog programmable
interface) interface to do remote control.

(1) Local operation is performed by the keyboard and rotary knob on the front panel.
(2) Remote control is done via GPIB/Ethernet (option), USB or RS-232/RS-485 interface.
(3) Through the APG input to control output via analog signal.
(4) The settings and editions of I-V curve are done by Solar Array Simulation Soft Panel.
1.2.2 Protection
(1) Protections for voltage phase loss, input over-voltage or under-voltage, output over-
voltage, over-current, over-power, over-temperature, fan fail, CV/CC foldback and etc.
are available.
(2) Free temperature control for fan speed.

1.2.3 Output/Indication
(1) Auxiliary power output (12Vdc/10mA).
(2) Analog monitors (V/I Monitor) the output signal instantaneously. This allows signals to
be easily monitored by external instruments (DMM, Oscilloscope, etc). Able to set the
output level indication (DC ON) signal.
(3) Output indicator (DC ON) signal.
(4) Protection state indication (OVP/OCP/OPP /FAN LOCK/AC FAULT, etc).
(5) Over temperature (OTP) protection signal.
(6) CV/CC status indicators.
(7) Output status indicators.
1.2.4 Input Control Signals
(1) Remote sense input for voltage drop compensation.
(2) Analog reference voltage (APG) input in which the setting of voltage and current can be
set by the voltage source, current source and resistance that adjusted for the panel
setting.
(3) Remote inhibit control signal (TTL)
1.2.5 Measuring & Editing
(1) Measurement for voltage, current and power.
(2) 10 programs and 100 sequences to edit voltage/current waveform output.
(3) One run time voltage program that can be set for long hour.
(4) 10 programs and 100 sequences to edit I-V curve waveform output.
1.3 Specifications
Chroma 62000H Series High Power Density DC Power Supplies with Solar Array Simulation
contain 2KW (62020H), 5KW (62050H), 10KW (62100H) and 15KW (62150H) 4 sub-series
by the output power and the power supply of each sub-series has various output
specifications. Table 1-1 lists the output specifications of 62000H Series DC POWER
SUPPLIES with Solar Array Simulation 2KW, 5KW, 10KW and 15KW. (It is suggested to
warm up 10 minutes or more to begin the tests. The operation of DC Power Supply for output
voltage must be 5% larger than full-scale. The test condition is 25 5°C and under
resistance load.)
