14 General Information
Table 1-2 Supplemental Characteristics (continued)
DC Floating Voltage: Either output terminal may be floated up to the following voltage (including the output voltage) from
earth ground:
±
240 Vdc on Models 6011A, 6012B, 6023A, and 6028A
±
550 Vdc on Models 6010A and 6015A
Exceeding these voltages can result in damage to the equipment.
Efficiency (typical): 80% on maximum output boundary
Remote Sensing: The power supply maintains specifications at the load with up to 0.5 Volt per load lead with sense wire
resistance less than 0.2 Ω per lead and sense lead length less than 5 metres. Operation with up to 2 volts per load lead is possible
with some degradation of the load effect specification.
Multiple Operations: Up to two similar units may be connected in series, parallel or auto-parallel, to provide increased
output capabilities. Mixing supplies with dissimilar output capabilities is not recommended because under certain
conditions, the lower output supply may be stressed beyond its maximum voltage and or current capabilities by the higher
output supply.
Reactive Loads: Stable with inductive loads up to 100 mH and capacitive loads up to 10 F. CC compensation that provides
up to 10 H (with increased settling times) is available on special order.
Voltage Overshoot (typical): The output voltage will overshoot its steady state value by less than 250 mV (1 V on Model
6015A) due to any of the following conditions:
1. Up programming
2. Crossover from CC to CV mode
3. A step change of up to 5A
4. AC power on
