Howdy,
Is there a 'proper' way to short output terminals? This from the HP 6253 manual:
3-7 CONSTANT VOLTAGE
3-8 To select a constant voltage output, proceed
as follows:
a. Turn-on power supply and adjust VOLTAGE
controls for desired output voltage (output terminals
open).
b. Short output terminals and adjust CURRENT controls for maximum output cment allowable
(current limit), as determined by load conditions.
If a load change causes the cment limit to be exceeded, the power supply will automatically cross-'
wer to constant cment output at the preset current
limit and the output voltage wlll drop propartionately. In setttng the current limit, allowance must be
made for high peak current which can cause unwanted cross-ovet. (Refer to Paragraph 3-46.)
THANK YOU for your time!
