Hello, My little contribution to this thread. :) By curiosity, I have done the same tests with my both main supplies : The triple outputs lab power supplies ITECH IT6302 (195W 7.1kG) , and my home made "DIY" EPSUX3V2 (180W 1.4kG) . I used the same scope setting as possible for easy comparison (as first post). The load is 8 Ohms (instead of 10), and the output voltage of the EPSUX3V2 is 20V instead of 24V. Both are fast, even if the DIY one is the winner! :-D The IT6302 use relays for voltage range, with the 10Hz load switch is very noisy and I don't think it would love it for a long time..(my hears too). I added today (06/08) some picts I had made of the setup of both power supplies, an the small load switch board. Frex |

My setup (random parts I had around): - 10 Ohm 5% ceramic load resistor SBCHE1510RJ - 0.3 Ohm 5% ceramic sense resistor TWW5JR30 - IRF510 MOSFET Tools: - Feeltech FY6600 signal generator - Digilent Analog Discovery |

BK Precision 9130 https://www.bkprecision.com/products/electrical-battery-testers/9130 This one has all brand new capacitors. "begin" - measurements at the start of a pulse (0.5 Hz) "end" - at the end. Every capture is an average of 5 acquisitions. Note that at the start of a pulse I captured current across the sense resistor, but at the end I captured BK9130 output voltage. These graphs are from the first channel. I checked the second one and it basically has exactly the same behavior. |

ITECH IT6322B https://www.itechate.com/en/info_128.aspx?itemid=548&lcid=90 The same notes above apply: Every capture is an average of 5 acquisitions. Note that at the start of a pulse I captured current across the sense resistor, but at the end I captured BK9130 output voltage. These graphs are from the first channel. I checked the second one and it basically has exactly the same behavior. |

Agilent 66321D https://www.keysight.com/us/en/product/66321D/mobile-comm-dc-source-battery-emulation-dvm.html This is a relatively new unit, Agilent-branded. Surprisingly it has the slowest overcurrent reaction speed in this topic: about 80ms! Exactly as its older brother 66311B (see below). 66321D is capable of 0..15V of output so I measured 15V and 10V (for voltage stability). This model supports 4 modes of output compensation: HREMOTE, LREMOTE, HLOCAL or LLOCAL. By default I used HLOCAL. LLOCAL did not make any difference. Remote modes only affected the off-transition (see the photos). I also had two cables: ~1.5-1.8m AWG16 with local sense only, and a shorter ~1m twisted AWG 14 with twisted sense leads. It made some difference. :) Every capture is an average of 5 acquisitions. |
