2 Calibration and Verification Introduction This section provides test and calibration procedures. The operation-verification tests comprise a short procedure to verify that the unit is performing properly, without testing all specified parameters. After troubleshooting and repair of a defective power supply you can usually verify proper operation with the turn-on checkout procedure in the Operating Manual. Repairs to the A1 main board and the A2 control board can involve circuits which, althoug

The substitution of the load resistor requires adding a load switch to open and short the load in the CC or CV load regulation tests. The load transient recovery time test procedure cannot be performed using load resistors. An electronic load is considerably easier to use than a load resistor. It eliminates the need for connecting resistors or rheostats in parallel to handle the power, it is much more stable than a carbon-pile load, and it makes easy work of switching between load conditions as

the unit's output voltage. To reduce common-mode noise pickup, set up the oscilloscope for a differential, two-channel voltage measurement. To reduce normal-mode noise pickup, use twisted, 1 meter or shorter, 50Ω coaxial cables with shields connected to the oscilloscope case and to each other at the other ends. Proceed as follows: a. Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 2-5. Operate the load in constant resistance mode (Amps/Volt) and set resistance to maximum. b. Turn the unit's power
