Operating Manual for XHR Series Power Supply

Positive-negative Supply

To obtain a positive-negative supply, connect the negative output terminal of one
supply to the positive output terminal of the second supply. See

Figure 3.5

. The

positive output terminal of the first supply now provides a positive voltage relative
to the common connection. The negative output terminal of the second supply
provides the negative voltage. You can set the current limits independently. The
maximum current available in split supply operation is equal to the rated output of
the supplies.

return line of the negative supply to the common connection.
