should be 0.55A±5% (0.5225A to 0.5775A).
o. Check the current limit of the -20V suppl

(0.5225A to 0.5775A).
p. Connect the test setup shown in Fi

ure A-5 to the +6V
output. Close the switch, set the total resistance of R
L
and
the current samplin

resistor to an initial value of 2.4 or
g
reater, and set the output volta
g

the DVM. The current should
increase to a maximum of 2.75A±5% (2.6125A to
2.8875A) before it be

ins to decrease.
r. Connect a short across R

and then recheck the current
indicated b

the DVM. The short-circuit current of this out-
put should be 1A±15% (0.85A to 1.15A). Disconnect the

To check the load re
g
ulation:
a. Connect the test equipment across the output of the
+20V suppl
y
as shown in Fi

ure A-6. Operate the elec-
tronic load in constant current mode and set its current to
the full rated value of the +20V suppl

.
b. Turn on the suppl
y
and adjust its volta

rated value.
c. Record the volta

d. Operate the electronic load in open (input off) mode and
recheck the DVM indication after readin

settles. It should
be within 0.01% plus 2mV of the readin

in step (c).
e. Repeat steps (a) throu

c. Adjust the autotransformer for a low line input (-10% of
nominal volta

Ripple and Noise
Definition: Ripple and noise are measured in the rms or peak-
to-peak value over a 20 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Fluctuations
below the lower frequenc
y
limit are treated as drift.
RMS Measurement
The rms measurement is not an ideal representation of the
noise, since fairl
y
hi
g
h output noise spikes of short duration
could be present in the ripple and not appreciabl
y
increase
the rms value.
To measure the ripple and noise of the rms value on each
output suppl
y
output:
a. Connect the test equipment across the output of the
+20V suppl
y
as shown in Fi
g
ure A-7.
b. Turn on the suppl
y
and push +20V METER switch.
c. Turn up output volta
g
e to the full rated value.
d. Check that the rms noise volta
g
e at the true rms voltme-
ter is less than 0.35mV.
e. Repeat for the remainin
g
suppl
y
outputs.
