Safety Guidelines
General Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place heavy objects on the power supply.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
may damage the power supply.
Avoid discharges of static electricity on or near
the power supply.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not block the cooling fan vent.
The power supply should only be disassembled
by a qualified technician.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
T3PS falls under category II.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of a low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in a
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on
circuits directly connected to a low voltage installation.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to Mains.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage: 115V / 230V ±15%
47 ~ 63Hz
Connect the protective grounding conductor of
the AC power cord to an earth ground
Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: 115V input: T 10A 250V; 230V input:
T 6.3A 250V
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord before replacing the
fuse.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed

T3PS1000 series User Manual

before replacing the fuse.
Cleaning the
power supply
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
power supply.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the power supply.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies pollution degrees and
their requirements as follows. The power supply falls under degree
2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Relative Humidity: < 70%
Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

CAUTION
Before powering up the power supply,
select the AC input voltage from the rear
panel.

Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the T3PS in the United Kingdom, make sure the power
cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green/ Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the
colours marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the
Earth terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or
coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or
contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, cable of
0.75mm2should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors
would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection
method used.
Any moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement
must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed
of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if a engaged in
live socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with the
information detailed on this label.

OVERVIEW

CV/CC Crossover Characteristics
Background
T3PS power supplies automatically switch
between constant voltage mode (CV) and constant
current mode (CC), according to the load
conditions.
When the current level is smaller than
the output setting, T3PS operates in
Constant Voltage mode. The C.V.
indicator on the front panel turns green.
The Voltage level is kept at the setting
and the Current level fluctuates
according to the load condition until it
reaches the output current setting.
C.V.
When the current level reaches the
output setting, T3PS starts operating in
Constant Current mode. The indicator
on the front panel turns red (C.C.) The
Current level is kept at the setting but
the Voltage level becomes lower than
the setting, in order to suppress the
output power level from overload.
When the current level becomes lower
than the setting, T3PS goes back to the
Constant Voltage mode.

Over Voltage Protection Set Up
OVP setup
Background
Over Voltage Protection (OVP) protects T3PS and
DUT from excessive output Voltage. The user sets
the maximum output voltage limit before
operation. When the output voltage exceeds this
limit, the output is shut off immediately.
1. With the machine off, turn
the voltage output to
maximum.
