TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION PARTICULARS PAGE NO.
SECTION - 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 DESCRIPTION : The 1796 High Current Regulated D.C. Power Supply is completely solid and suitable for bench operation or standard 19" rack operation. It is a well regulated constant voltage / constant current supply which delivers 0 - 16V at 0 - 50Amps and can be adjusted continuously throughout the output range. When the supply is used as a constant voltage source the front panel VOLTAGE controls can be used to limit the output voltage.
SECTION - 2 SPECIFICATIONS OUTPUT VOLTAGE : LOAD CURRENT : CONSTANT VOLTAGE MODE REGULATION LINE : LOAD : RIPPLE & NOISE : CONSTANT CURRENT MODE REGULATION LINE : LOAD : RIPPLE & NOISE : OVERLOAD PROTECTION TRANSIENT RESPONSE : : Automatic overload and short circuit protection. 100µsecs to within 10mV of set output voltage for load change from 10% to 90%. : : ± 0.2% ± 10mV in constant voltage mode. ± 0.5% ± 10mA in constant current mode.
SECTION - 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 INITIAL INSPECTION : As soon as the power supply 1796 unit is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Save all packing material until inspection is completed. If any damage is found, notify the carriers immediately. Our authorised representatives should also be notified. 3.
3.8 INPUT TAP SELECTION FOR 230V OPERATION : In case of 230V operation please ensure the shorting links on the Tap Selection boards are changed to 230V marked on the PCB for both Mains Transformer & Auxulary Transformer as per the following diagram. TAP SELECTOR BOARD Please make sure the input varistor is replaced by 20D 361K or equivalent for 230V Mains Operation at the Input of EMI Filter located at bottom side of the unit. 3.
SECTION - 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 TURN ON SETTING PROCEDURE : The following procedure describes the use of controls and indicators for Constant Voltage and Constant Current Mode of Operation. CONSTANT VOLTAGE (CV) MODE : a. Set ‘POWER ON’ Switch & keep the OUTPUT ON/OFF switch to OFF position ( ). b. Press LIMIT switch and adjust the VOLTAGE controls till the desired voltage is indicated on Voltmeter ( ). c.
4.4 If load considerations require that the output power distribution terminals be remotely located from the power supply ,then the power supply output terminals should be connected to the remote distribution terminals via a pair of shielded or twisted wires and each load should be separately connected to remote distribution terminals. 4.5 Positive or negative voltage can be obtained from this supply by grounding either one of the output terminals or one end of the load.
b) If performing adjustment in step (a) above does not remove oscillation, disconnect output capacitor C2(L1791-FP-CNT-1203 PCB) and connect a capacitor having similar characteristics ( approximately the same capacitance, the same voltage rating or greater, and having good high frequency characteristics) directly across load using short leads. Readjust R145 as in step (a) above after making this change. 4.
OPERATORS SAFETY SUMMARY The general safety information in this part of the summary is for both operating & servicing personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will be found throughout the manual where they apply, but may not appear in this summary. TERMS IN THIS MANUAL : CAUTION : Statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment or other property. WARNING : Statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss of life.
USE THE PROPER FUSE : To avoid fire hazard, use only fuse of the correct type, voltage rating and current rating as specified in the parts list for your product. For 115V operation 20A, For 230V operation 10A Slow blow. Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel. DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES : To avoid explosion, do not operate this instrument in an explosive atmosphere unless it has been specifically certified for such operation.
SECTION - 5 SERVICE INSTRUCTION 5.1 GENERAL : The instrument has been tested throughly and then released for dispatch. Normally, the unit works satisfactorily under all condition. However due to ageing / misuse or malfunctioning, the unit may become defective. In case, the user wants to carryout Servicing, the following instructions will be helpful in rectifying the defects The Servicing shall be done only by Qualified personnel. 5.2 TROUBLE SHOOTING TECHNIQUES : 5.2.
checked by substituting a new component for it ( or one which has been checked previously). However, be sure that circuit conditions are not such that a replacement transistor might also be damaged. If substitute transistors are not available, use a dynamic tester. Static-type testers are not recommended, since they do not check operation under simulated operating conditions. An approved anti-static suction-type desoldering tool must be used to remove soldered-in transistors.
5.3.6 If Fuse blows, connect the unit through a variable AC Source with a current meter and monitor the current at no load. If the current is very high (more than 2 ampere or so) load, check for Bridge Rectifier short or shorted Diode,or Secondary Winding short, etc 5.3.7 If output voltage or current DPM's are not reading, check for loose connections especially in crimping, soldering of Connectors. WARNING THE FOLLOWING SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
