Type | Bipolar, 4-quadrant, DC current source |
Current generation | Linear regulation with digital setting and analog control |
Current range | ±60 A |
Compliance voltage | ±5 V maximum (nominal, both source and sink) |
Maximum power | 300 W |
Load reactance | 0 H to 100 H |
Current ripple (max) | 4 mA RMS at 60 A, (0.007%) into 1 mΩ load (significantly reduced into a reactive load or at lower current) |
Current ripple frequency | Dominated by line frequency and its harmonics |
Temperature coefficient | ±15 ppm of full scale/°C |
Line regulation | 15 ppm/6% line change |
Source impedance | 25 Ω |
Stability (1 h) | 1 mA/h (after warm-up) |
Stability (24 h) | 10 mA/24 h (typical, dominated by temperature coefficient and line regulation) |
Isolation | Output optically isolated from chassis to prevent ground loops |
Parallel operation | 2 units can be paralleled for ±120 A, ±5 V operation |
Protection | Quench, line loss, low line voltage, high line voltage, output over voltage, output over current, over temperature, and remote inhibit (on critical error conditions, magnet discharges at 1 V nominal) |
