BOP HIPWR 101509

Accessing the BOP after the output is disabled in BATTERY mode is

hazardous because (1) high current arcing is possible and (2) either the

external battery voltage, or the voltage (±Voltage Protection max) on the

BOP output terminals may be dangerous. Therefore, for battery and

constant-voltage-type active electronic loads it is recommended that

two properly rated external switches be installed for safety: one in

series with the battery, and one across the BOP output. After the unit is

set to OFF, first open the switch in series with the battery, then close

the switch across the BOP output to ensure safety before handling

BOP connections. When connecting the battery, the switch across the

output should be opened after the connections are complete and then

the switch in series with the battery should be closed. If the constant-

voltage-type active electronic load is adjusted to zero before handling

the power supply-to-load connections, only the switch across the BOP

output is required.

BATTERY. This mode is necessary for the power supply to function properly and safely with
either battery or constant-voltage-type active electronic loads. This mode prevents the battery
from discharging during the OFF state. When the output is disabled (set to OFF), the BOP will
go to current mode, current will be set to zero, with voltage protect and current limit set to maxi-
mum. In this way the battery will not be discharged while the output is OFF. For constant-volt-
age-type active electronic loads this mode stops energy flow during the OFF state. Table 3-6
indicates how the power supply responds to a command to go from Output ON to OFF.
