The N3600 series supports V/I mode, SEQ mode, and CP mode, each with specific functions:
- V/I Mode: Allows setting of output voltage, current, and over-voltage protection (OVP).
- SEQ Mode: Supports sequence testing for complex waveforms, useful in automotive electronics testing.
- CP Mode: Maintains constant power output by adjusting voltage or current.
Users can configure maximum and minimum voltage and current settings to prevent misoperation and protect devices under test (DUT).
The N3600 includes several protection parameters:
- OVP: Shuts off output if voltage exceeds set value.
- OCP: Shuts off output if current exceeds set value.
- OPP: Shuts off output if power exceeds set value.
- UVP: Shuts off output if voltage falls below set value.
- OTP: Activates if internal temperature exceeds safe levels.
External control allows users to manage output via a programming interface. Analog programming (APG) can control output voltage and current using voltage analog signals.
The NGI N3600 Series is a wide-range programmable DC power supply with models offering different voltage, current, and power specifications. For example, the N3608-080-060 model provides 0-80V and 0-60A with a power output of 800W. The series supports both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes with high setting resolution and accuracy.
The power supply allows for external programming of voltage and current using either a 0-5V or 0-10V reference signal. The APG function enables control via external voltage signals. The device can be operated in parallel or series configurations, supporting up to five units with the same specifications. Communication and control are facilitated through RS485 cables, with one unit set as the master and others as slaves.
In cascade applications, the master unit distributes configuration parameters and collects status information from slave units. The system supports both parallel and series connections, but not simultaneously. The maximum total output voltage in series should not exceed 600V.
The N3600 series supports remote operation via RS232 and LAN interfaces. Users can control the device using application software installed on a PC. The RS232 interface requires setting the baud rate and parity mode, while the LAN interface requires setting the IP address.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning the device with a dry or slightly wet cloth. Fault self-inspection steps include checking power, connectors, system configuration, and error messages. Calibration is recommended annually.
The technical data section provides detailed specifications for various models, including voltage, current, power, setting resolution, and accuracy. The devices have a typical efficiency of 90% and support RS232/LAN interfaces for communication.
The NGI N3600 Series Wide Range Programmable DC Power Supply offers a voltage measurement range from 0-1000V with varying readback resolutions and accuracies depending on the specific voltage range. Current measurement ranges from 0-10A to 0-500A, also with specific readback resolutions and accuracies. The temperature coefficient for both voltage and current measurements is 50ppm/℃. Line regulation for voltage is ≤0.01% and for current is ≤0.05%. Load regulation for both voltage and current is ≤0.05%.
The power supply features voltage rise and fall times that vary depending on load conditions, with transient recovery times of less than 20ms. The output ripple is specified for a frequency range of 20Hz-20MHz, with voltage ripple (P-P) varying by model.
The efficiency is typically 90%, and it supports RS232/LAN interfaces with a communication response time of ≤5ms. It operates within a temperature range of 0℃ to 40℃ and can be stored between -20℃ and 60℃. The operating environment supports altitudes below 2000m and relative humidity between 5% and 90% RH.
The N3600 series includes over voltage protection (OVP), over current protection (OCP), over temperature protection (OTP), and power limit features.
The RS232 interface supports multiple baud rates, while the LAN interface complies with IEEE 802.3 100M Ethernet standards.
The document includes tables for protection and fault definitions, recommended wire gauge selection, and troubleshooting guidance. Common issues such as screen malfunction, no output, improper voltage/current settings, unstable output voltage, and high output voltage ripple are addressed with potential causes and solutions.
