be set such that is was above the actual output voltage but below the set voltage. This could be
sed to trip the output under a fault condition which caused the load impedance to increase and
the actual output voltage to therefore rise above the OVP point.
Over-Current Protection
Over-Current Protection (OCP) can be set from 0·01A to 5·5A (XDL 35-5) or to 4.4A (XDL 56-4).
If the output current exceeds the set OCP the output is shut down (typically within 35ms).
To set OCP press SHIFT, OCP; the 10mA step JOG indicator will start flashing and the jog rotary
control can be used to increment/decrement the OCP setting in 10mA steps. Press OK to confirm
the new setting; to exit without entering a new value press ESCAPE. The factory default setting
is 5·50A (XDL 35-5) or 4.4A (XDL 56-4).
If the OCP is tripped the display shows the message
Pressing ESCAPE at this point removes the message and the display now shows the preset
voltage and current limit. When the cause of the OCP has been removed (or the OCP limit
changed) the output can be turned on again.
Note that as with OVP, the OCP setting is not changed when the range is changed.
Note also that is possible and valid to set OCP below the set current limit. For example, the
power supply may be used to repetitively test a unit under test (UUT) which normally takes a peak
current of, say, 2 Amps. However, a faulty UUT would take a current of more than 2 Amps and
would be damaged by being left in a 2 Amp current-limited state. In this case the current limit
could be set to 2·1A, say, and the OCP set to 2·0A to ensure that a faulty UUT will trip the supply
off.
Output Protection
In addition to OVP and OCP for forward over-voltage and over-current protection, the output is
protected from reverse voltages by a diode; the continuous reverse current must not exceed 3
Amps although transients can be much higher.
Output Power (V x A)
If SHIFT, V x A is pressed the voltage display shows the product of measured output voltage x
measured current and the current display shows
updated at the normal measurement rate. Output Power mode is cancelled by pressing either
ESCAPE or V x A again. Jog is temporarily disabled (and the JOG indicators are turned off)
during the V x A display.
Temperature Trip
If the safe internal temperature limit is exceeded because, for example, the fan vents have been
blocked, the output is turned off and the display will show
this point will do one of two things:
i. If the over-temperature condition has already cleared the message will be removed and the
display will show preset voltage and current limit. Assuming the cause of the over-temperature
has been rectified the output can be turned on again.
ii. If the instrument is still above the safe temperature limit the
slowly ('lazy' flash) until the instrument has cooled, at which point the display will show preset
voltage and current limit again. Assuming the cause of the over-temperature has been rectified
the output can be turned on again.
Alarm Output
The recessed 2-pin connector on the rear panel is directly connected to an opto-coupled NPN
switching transistor (pin 1 emitter, pin 2 collector) which is turned on (i.e. switch 'closure')
according to the conditions specified in the Extra Functions section, see later. The default
condition is switch closure for any trip condition (OVP, OCP, SENSE or OTP). The maximum
open-circuit voltage permitted across the switch is 30VDC and the nominal sink current for switch
closure is 1mA.
