We will demonstrate how to set up a Bench Power Supply in this article. The CSI3005X5 Bench Power Supply 30 VDC<\/a> has a current limiting protection feature. We will also explain a little bit about Constant Current and Constant Voltage mode and what they mean from an operational standpoint. The operation can also replicate for the brother unit CSI3003X3 30 Volt DC 3.0 Amp Triple Output Linear Bench Power Supply<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is Constant Current (CC)\/Constant Voltage (CV)?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    In CV mode, the DC output voltage of the power supply holds constant at its voltage setting, unless the output current or the output power reaches the current limit setting or the power limit. In both cases, the device will automatically change to constant current (CC) or constant power (CP) operation. The output voltage is no longer constant and will sink to a value according to Ohm\u2019s law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Operating Locus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In CC mode, the DC output current holds constant by the power supply when the output current reaches the current limit setting. The power supply then switches from CV to CC mode. If, however, the power consumption reaches the set maximum power value, the device will switch automatically to power limit (CP) where Vout X Iout = Plimit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Knowing How to set up your Bench Power Supply<\/a> is very important. The power supply can operate at the power limit without being damaged. However, the power supply is not guaranteed to meet specifications when operating in power limit mode. Output ripple may increase and neither output voltage nor current is regulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
