1-2  
This power supply, Figure 1-1, is completely  
regulation which would occur at the load because  
of the voltage drop which takes place in the load  
leads can be reduced by using the power supply in  
the remote sensing mode of operation.  
transistorized and suitable for either bench or re-  
lay rack operations, The dual supply consists of  
two independently controlled dual range sections;  
both identical to the other. Each section can fur-  
nish either a 0-40 Volt output at 300mA or a 0-20  
Volt output at 600mA. Each section has its own  
front panel meter and operating controls, The oper-  
ating modes (40V or 20V) are selected by means of  
the front panel RANGE switches, The VOLTAGE con-  
trols permit each output voltage to be continuously  
adjusted throughout either output range.  
c. Series and Auto-Series Operation, Power  
supplies may be used in series when a higher out-  
put voltage is required in the voltage mode of op-  
eration or when greater voltage compliance is re-  
quired in the constant current mode of operation,  
Auto-Series operation permits one knob control of  
the total output voltage from a “master” supply.  
d. Parallel and Auto-Parallel Operation, The  
power supply may be operated in parallel with a  
similar unit when greater output current capability  
Auto-Parallel operation permits one

lated, Constant Voltage/Current Limiting, type.  
Each section is fully protected from overloads by  
the fixed current limit which is set by means of an  
internal adjustment.  
1-9 Options are factory modifications of a stand-  
ard instrument that are requested by the customer.  
The following options are available for the instru-  
ment covered by this manual, Where necessary, de-  
tailed coverage of the options is included through-  
out the manual.  
1-4 Both front and rear terminals are available  
for each section. Either the positive or negative  
terminals may be grounded or the supply can be  
operated at up to a maximum of 300 Volts off ground.  
Each meter can be used to measure either output  
voltage or output current in one of two ranges. The  
voltage or current ranges are selected by the ap-  
plicable METER switch on the front panel.

power source. The unit, as shipped from the fac-  
tory, is wired for 115 Volt operation. The input  
power required when operated from a 115 Volt 60  
Hertz power source at full load is 31 Watts and  
0.35 Amperes.  
2-19 CONNECTIONS FOR 230 VOLT OPERATION  
2-20 Normally, the two primary windings of the  
input transformer are connected in parallel for op-  
eration from 115 Volt source. To convert the power  
supply to operation from a 230 Volt source, the  
power transformer windings are connected in series  
as follows:  
a.  
Unplug the line cord and remove the unit  
from case.  
b. Break the copper between 54 and 55 and  
also between 50 and 51 on the printed circuit  
board. The se are shown in Figure 2-4, and are  
labeled on copper side of printed circuit board.

2-21 POWER CABLE  
2-22 To protect operating personnel, the National  
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) rec-  
ommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be

three conductor power cable. The third conductor  
is the ground conductor and when the cable is  
plugged into an appropriate receptacle, the instru-  
ment is grounded. The offset pin on the power  
cable three-prong connector is the ground connec-  
tion.

its rear terminal strapping connections arranged  
for Constant Voltage/Current Limiting, local sens-

3-8 To select a constant voltage output turn on  
the supply and, with no load connected, adjust  
the VOLTAGE controls for the desired output volt-  
age. To check the current limit, connect an ex-  
ternal ammeter across the output of the supply,

mode of operation can be selected by making

white on the power supply above their respective  
terminals. Although the strapping patterns illus-

3-9 CHANGING CURRENT LIMIT  
3-13 If load considerations require that the output  
power distribution terminals be remotely located  
from the power supply, then the power supply out-  
put terminals should be connected to the remote  
distribution terminals via a pair of twisted or  
shielded wires and each load separately connected  
to the remote distribution termina1s. For this case,  
remote sensing should be used (Paragraph 3-25).  
3-10 The current limit can be varied by adjusting  
resistor R81, located on the printed wiring board.  
This adjustment procedure is described in Para-  
graph 5-74. In Models 6204B and 6206B, the cur-  
rent limit may be reduced to a value lower than  
that attainable by adjusting R81, by adding an ex-  
ternal resistor as shown in Figure 3-3. The ap-  
proximate value of the external resistance (Rx) can  
be determined by using the following equation  
R X = 1 . 7 5  
3-14 OPERATION BEYOND NORMAL RATED OUTPUT

the internal sampling resistance at  
the current limit crossover point.  
This range will deliver half as  
much output current and all specifications will  
apply as listed in Table 1-1. However, if the line  
voltage is maintained above its nomina1 value, the  
supply will probably operate within specifications  
above its rated output.  
NOTE  
The power supply’s performance will  
be somewhat degraded if it is operated  
too close to (within 10OmA) the current  
limit crossover point.

supply can be programmed (controlled) from a re-

The wires connecting the programming

cedures.

3-19 Resistance Programming (Figure 3-4). In  
this mode, the output voltage will vary at a rate  
determined by the programming coefficient (200  
ohms per Volt for Model 6204B and 6205B or 300  
ohms per Volt for Model 6206 B). The output volt-  
age will increase by 1 Volt for each 200 ohms (or  
300 ohms) added in series with the programming  
terminals. The programming accuracy is 1% of the  
programmed voltage. If greater programming ac-  
curacy is required, it may be achieved by chang-

3-25 REMOTE SENSING (See Figure 3-6)  
3-26 Remote sensing is used to maintain good  
regulation at the load and reduce the degradation  
of regulation which would occur due to the voltage  
drop in the leads between the power supply and  
the load. Remote sensing is accomplished by uti-  
lizing the strapping pattern shown in Figure 3-6.  
The power supply should be turned off before  
changing strapping patterns. The leads from the  
+S terminals to the load will carry less than 10  
milliamperes of current, and it is not required that  
these leads be as heavy as the load leads. H o w -  
ever, they must be twisted or shielded to minimize  
noise pick-up.

Auto-Series configuration is used when it is de-  
sirable to have the output voltage of each of the  
series connected supplies vary in accordance with  
the setting of a control unit. The control unit is  
called the master; the controlled units are called  
slaves. At maximum output voltage, the voltage  
of the slaves is determined by the setting of the  
front panel VOLTAGE control on the master. The  
master supply must be the most positive supply of

Due to the voltage drop in the load  
leads, it may be necessary to readjust  
the current limit in the remote sensing  
mode.

the inductance of long load leads which could af-  
fect the stability of the feedback loop and cause  
oscillation. In these cases, it is recommended  
that the output capacitor (C20) be physically re-  
moved from the power supply and placed across

programming modes.

error output is fed back to the series regulator,  
through the (mixer) error and driver amplifiers. The  
error voltage changes the conduction of the series

4-8 DETAILED CIRCUIT ANALYSIS  
4-9 FEEDBACK LOOP  
4-10 The feedback loop functions continuously to  
keep the output voltage constant during normal op-  
eration of the supply. For purposes of this discus-  
sion, assume that the output voltage instantane-  
ously rises (goes positive) due to a variation in the  
external load circuit. Note that the change may be  
in the form of a slow rise in the output voltage or a  
positive going ac signal. An ac signal is coupled  
to summing point A6 through capacitor Cl and a dc  
voltage is coupled to A6 through R 10.  
to zero.  
The above action maintains the output  
voltage constant.  
4-18 Stage Q1B of the differential amplifier is  
connected to a common (+S) potential through im-  
pedance equalizing resistor R5. Resistors R6 and  
R8 are used to zero bias the input stage, offset-  
ting minor base-to-emitter voltage differences in  
Q1. The base of Q1A is connected to a summing  
point at the junction of the programming resistors  
and the current pullout resistors, R12 and R13.  
Instantaneous changes in output voltage result in  
an increase or decrease in the summing point po-  
tential. Q1A is made to conduct more or less, in  
accordance with summing point voltage change.  
The resultant output error voltage is fed back to  
the series regulator via the remaining components  
4-11 The rise in output voltage causes the voltage  
at A6 and thus the base of Q1A to decrease (go neg-  
ative). Q1A now decreases its conduction and its  
collector voltage rises. The positive going error  
voltage is amplified and inverted by Q3 and fed to  
the base of the series transistor(s) via emitter fol-  
lower Q4. The negative going input causes the  
series transistor(s) to decrease its conduction so  
that it drops more of the line voltage, reducing the  
output voltage to its original level.  
4-12 If the external load resistance decreases to  
a certain crossover point, the supply will operate  
in the current limiting mode. In the current limit  
mode, Q1O conducts sending a negative going,  
turn-down signal to the series regulator via driver

Resistor Rl, in series with

SECTION V  
MAINTENANCE  
5-1 INTRODUCTION  
5-2 Upon receipt of the power supply, the per-  
formance check (Paragraph 5-10) should be made.  
This check is suitable for incoming inspection. If  
a fault is detected in the power supply while mak-  
ing the performance check or during normal opera-  
tion, proceed to the troubleshooting procedures  
(Paragraph 5-48). After troubleshooting and repair  
(Paragraph 5-58), perform any necessary adjust-  
ments and calibrations (Paragraph 5-60). Before  
returning the power supply to normal operation,  
repeat the performance check to ensure that the  
fault has been properly corrected and that no other  
faults exist. Before doing any maintenance checks,  
turn-on power supply, allow a ha if-hour warm-up,  
and read the general information regarding meas-  
urement techniques (Paragraph 5-3).

GENERAL MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES  
5-4  
The measuring device must be connected  
across the sensing leads of the supply or as close  
to the output terminals as possible when measur-  
ing the output impedance, transient response, reg-  
ulation, or ripple of the power supply in order to  
achieve valid measurements. A measurement made  
acress the load includes the impedance of the  
leads to the load and such lead lengths can easily  
have an impedance several orders of magnitude  
greater than the supply impedance, thus invalidat-  
ing the measurement.  
Figure 5-2. Output Current Measurement Technique  
5-6 For output current measurements, the current  
sampling resistor should be a four-terminal resis-  
tor. The four terminals are connected as shown in  
Figure 5-2. In addition, the resistor should be of  
the low noise, low temperature coefficient (less  
than 30ppm/°C) type and should be used at no  
more than 5% of its rated power so that its temper-  
ature rise will be minimized.  
5-5 The monitoring device should be connected  
to the +S and -S terminals (see Figure 3-2) or as  
shown in Figure 5-1. The performance characteris-  
tics should never be measured on the front termi-  
nals if the load is connected across the rear termi-  
nals. Note that when measurements are made at  
the front terminals, the monitoring leads are con-  
nected at A, not B, as shown in Figure 5-1. Fail-  
ure to connect the measuring device at A will re-  
sult in a measurement that includes the resistance  
of the leads between the output terminals and the  
point of connection.  
When using an oscilloscope, ground one ter-  
5-7  
minal of the power supply and then ground the case  
of the oscilloscope to this same point. Make cer-  
tain that the case is not also grounded by some  
other means (power line). Connect both oscillo-  
scope input leads to the power supply ground ter-  
minal and check that the oscilloscope is not ex-  
hibiting a ripple or transient due to ground loops,  
pick-up, or other means.

5-8 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED  
5-9 Table 5-1 lists the test equipment required  
to perform the various procedures described in this  
Section.  
NOTE  
A satisfactory substitute for a differ-  
ential voltmeter is to arrange a refer-  
ence voltage source and null detector  
as shown in Figure 5-3. The refer-  
ence voltage source is adjusted so  
that the voltage difference between  
the supply being measured and the  
reference voltage will have the re-  
quired resolution for the measurement  
being made. The voltage difference  
will be a function of the null detector  
that is used. Examples of satisfacto-

utilizing differential input, or a 50mV  
meter movement with a 100 division  
scale. For the latter, a 2mV change in  
voltage will result in a meter deflec-  
tion of four divisions.  
Care must be exercised when using an  
electronic null detector in which one  
input terminal is grounded to avoid  
ground loops and circulating currents.

5-10 PERFORMANCE TEST  
5-11 The following test can be used as an incom-  
ing inspection check and appropriate portions of  
the test can be repeated either to check the oper-  
ation of the instrument after repairs or for periodic  
maintenance tests. The tests are performed using  
a 115Vac 60 Hz, single phase input power source.  
If the correct result is not obtained for a particu-  
lar check, do not adjust any controls; proceed to  
troubleshooting (Paragraph 5-48).  
5-14 To avoid mutual coupling effects, each  
monitoring device must be-connected directly to  
the sensing terminals by separate pairs of leads.  
The load resistor is connected acress the output  
terminals and must be selected according to the  
output voltage and current of the supply. When  
measuring the constant voltage performance spec-  
ifications, the CURRENT controls should be set  
well above the maximum output current which the  
supply will draw, since the onset of constant cur-  
rent action will cause a drop in output voltage,  
increased ripple, and other performance changes  
not properly ascribed to the constant voltage op-  
eration of the supply.  
NOTE  
For Model 6205B supplies, the follow-  
ing performance checks should be  
performed twice in order to check both  
independent sections of the supply.  
5-15 Voltage Output and Voltmeter Accuracy. To  
check the output voltage, proceed as follows:  
a. Connect 133 ohm load resistor (120 ohms

b. Connect differential voltmeter acress +S  
and -S terminals of supply observing correct polar-  
ity.

Ripple and Noise.  
5-21  
Definition: The residual ac voltage  
which is superimposed on the dc  
output of a regulated power supply.  
Ripple and noise may be specified  
and measured in terms of its RMS  
or (preferably) peak-to-peak value.  
Ripple and noise measurement can be made at any  
input ac line voltage combined with any dc output  
voltage and load current within rating.  
5-22 The amount of ripple and noise that is pres-  
ent on the power supply output is measured either  
in terms of the RMS or (preferably) peak-to-peak  
value. The peak-to-peak measurement is particu-  
larly important for applications where noise spikes  
could be detrimental to a sensitive load, such as  
The RMS measurement is not an  
logic circuitry.  
ideal representation of the noise, since fairly  
high output noise spikes of short duration could  
be present in the ripple and not appreciably in-  
crease the RMS value.  
5-23 The technique used to measure high frequen-  
on the output of a power sup-  
cy noise or “ spikes”  
ply is more critical than the low frequency ripple  
and noise measurement technique; therefore the  
former is discussed separately in Paragraph 5-31,  
Figure 5-6. CV Ripple and Noise, Test Setup  
5-24 Ripple and Noise Measurements. Figure  
5-6A shows an incorrect method of measuring p-p  
ripple. Note that a continuous ground loop exists  
from the third wire of the input power cord of the  
supply to the third wire of the input power cord of  
the oscilloscope via the grounded power supply  
case, the wire between the negative output termi-  
nal of the power supply and the vertical input of  
the scope, and the grounded scope case. Any  
ground current circulating in this loop as a result  
of the difference in potential EG between the two  
ground points causes an IR drop which is in series  
with the scope input. This IR drop, normally hav-  
ing a 60HZ line frequency fundamental, plus any  
pickup on the unshielded leads interconnecting  
the power supply and scope, appears on the face  
of the CRT. The magnitude of this resulting noise  
signal can easily be much greater than the true  
ripple developed between the plus and minus out-  
put terminals of the power supply, and can com-  
pletely invalidate the measurement.  
can exist if an RMS voltmeter is substituted in  
place of the oscilloscope in Figure 5-6. However,  
the oscilloscope display, unlike the true RMS  
meter reading, tells the observer immediately  
whether the fundamental period of the signal dis-  
played is 8.3 milliseconds (1/120 Hz) or 16.7 mil-  
liseconds (1/60Hz). Since the fundamental ripple  
frequency present on the output of an  
supply is  
120Hz (due to full-wave rectification), an oscillo-  
scope display showing a 120Hz fundamental com-  
ponent is indicative of a “clean” measurement set-  
up, while the presence of a 60HZ fundamental usu-  
ally means that an improved setup will result in a  
more accurate (and lower) value of measured ripple.  
5-26 Although the method shown in Figure 5-6A is  
not recommended for ripple measurements, it may  
prove satisfactory in some instances provided cer-  
tain precautionary measures are taken. One meth-  
od of minimizing the effects of ground current flow  
(IG) is to ensure that both the supply and the test  
instrument are plugged into the same ac power  
buss.

meter or digital voltmeter over the stated measure-  
ment interval; a strip chart recorder can be used  
to provide a permanent record. A thermometer  
should be placed near the supply to verify that the  
ambient temperature remains constant during the  
period of measurement. The supply should be put  
in a location immune from stray air currents (open  
doors or windows, air conditioning vents); if pos-  
sible, the supply should be placed in an oven  
which is held at a constant temperature. Care  
must be taken that the measuring instrument has a  
stability over the eight hour interval which is at  
least an order of magnitude better than the stabil-  
ity specification of the power supply being meas-  
ured. Typically, a supply may drift less over the  
eight hour measurement interval than during the ½  
hour warm-up period.

Definition: The change in output  
voltage per degree Centigrade  
change in the ambient temperature  
under conditions of constant input  
ac line voltage, output voltage  
setting, and load resistance.  
5-41 The temperature coefficient of a power sup-  
ply is measured by placing the power supply in an  
oven and varying it over any temperature span  
within its rating.  
(Most  
power supplies are  
rated for operation from 0°C to 55°C. ) The power  
supply must be allowed to thermally stabilize for  
a sufficient period of time at each temperature of  
measurement.  
5-42 The temperature coefficient specified is the  
maximum temperature-dependent output voltage  
change which will result over any 5°C interval.  
The differential voltmeter or digital voltmeter  
used to measure the output voltage change of the  
5-46 Stability measurement can be made while  
the supply is remotely programmed with a fixed  
wire-wound resistor, thus avoiding accidental  
changes in the front panel setting due to mechan-  
ical vibration or “knob-twiddling. “

5-53 OVERALL TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE  
5-49 Before attempting to troubleshoot this in-  
strument, ensure that the is with the instru-  
ment and not with an associated circuit. The per-  
formance test (Paragraph 5-10) enables this to be  
determined without having to remove the instru-  
ment from the cabinet.  
5-54 To locate the cause of trouble  
1, 2, and 3 in sequence.  
Steps  
(1) Check for obvious troubles such as  
open fuse, defective power cord, input power fail-  
ure, or defective voltage or current meter. Next  
remove the top cover (held by four retaining  
screws) and inspect for open connections, char-  
red components, etc. If the trouble source cannot  
be detected by visual inspection, proceed with  
Step 2.  
5-50 A  
operation is a helpful aid  
it is recommended that the reader review Section  
IV of the before attempting to troubleshoot  
understanding of the principles of  
troubleshooting, and  
the unit in detail. Once the principles of opera-  
tion are understood, refer to the overall trouble-  
shooting procedures in Paragraph 5-53 to  
the symptom and probable cause.  
(2) In almost  
cases, the trouble can be  
caused by improper dc bias or reference voltages;  
thus, it is a good practice to check voltages in  
Table 5-2, before proceeding with Step 3.  
(3) Disconnect the  
5-3 to determine your symptom and probable cause.

5-5b Series Regulating Feedback Loop. When  
troubleshooting the series regulating loop, it is  
useful to open the loop since measurements made  
anywhere within a closed loop may appear abnor-  
mal. With a loop closed, it is very difficult to  
separate cause from effect. As described in  
Tables 5-4 and 5-5, the conduction or cutoff ca-  
pability of each stage is checked by shorting or  
opening a previous stage, as follows:  
5-55 To check the zener diodes in the reference

MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION  
Section 1.  
INTRODUCTION  
in precision measurement. Consists of compari-  
sons of two instruments, one of which is a certified  
standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust  
any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument  
being compared.  
C -1. General  
This appendix provides a summary of the main-  
t en a n ce oper a t ion s for t h e P P -7548/U. It  
authorizes categories of maintenance for specific  
maintenance functions on repairable items and  
components and the tools and equipment required  
to perform each function. This appendix may  
be used as an aid in planning maintenance opera-  
tions.  
g. Install. The act of emplacing, seating, or fix-  
ing into position an item, part, module (compo-  
nent or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper  
functioning of the equipment or system.  
h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable  
like type part, subassembly, or module (component  
or assembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.  
C-2. Maintenance Function  
Maintenance functions will be limited to and de-  
fined as follows:  
i. Repair. The application of maintenance serv-  
ices (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate,  
replace) or other maintenance actions (welding,  
grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, rema-  
chining, or resurfacing) to restore serviceability  
to an item by correcting specific damage, fault,  
malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly,  
module (component or assembly), end item, or  
system.  
a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an  
item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/  
or electrical characteristics with established stand-  
ards through examination.  
b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detect  
incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or  
electrical characteristics of an item and compar-  
ing those characteristics with prescribed stand-  
ards.  
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/  
action ) necessary to restore an item to a complete-  
ly serviceable/operational condition as prescribed  
by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in appro-  
priate technical publications. Overhaul is normally  
the highest degree of maintenance performed by  
the Army. Overhaul does not normally return an  
item to like new condition.  
c. Service. Operations required periodically to  
keep an item in proper operating conditions, i.e.,  
to clean (decontaminate), to preserve, to drain,  
to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic  
fluids, or compressed air supplies.  
d. Adjust To maintain, within prescribed limits,  
by bringing into proper or exact position, or by  
setting the operating characteristics to the speci-  
fied parameters.  
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services actions  
necessary for the restoration of unserviceable  
equipment to a like new condition in accordance  
with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild  
is the highest degree of materiel maintenance  
applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation  
includes the act of returning to zero those age  
measurements (hours, miles, etc. ) considered in  
classifying Army equipments/components.  
e. Align. To adjust specified variable elements  
of an item to bring about optimum or desired  
performance.  
f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections  
to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or  
test measuring and diagnostic equipments used

specifies by code, those common tool sets (not  
individual tools) and special tools, test and sup-  
port equipment required to perform the designated  
function.  
a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists  
group numbers, the purpose of which is to identify  
components, assemblies, subassemblies, and mod-  
ules with the next higher assembly.  
b. Column 2, Component/ Assembly.Column 2  
contains the noun names of components, assem-  
blies, subassemblies, and modules for which main-  
tenance is authorized.

the listed maintenance function vary at different  
maintenance categories, appropriate worktime”  
figures will be shown for each category. The num-  
ber of task-hours specified by the worktime”  
figure represents the average time required to  
restore an item (assembly, subassembly, compo-  
nent, module, end item or system) to a serviceable  
condition under typical field operating conditions.  
This time includes preparation time, troubleshoot-  
ing time, and quality assurance/quality control  
time in addition to the time required to perform

Option 11, Overvoltage Protection “Crowbar”  
DESCRIPTION:  
This option is installed in DC Power Supplies, 6200B, 6201B, 6202B, 6203B, 6204B, and 6206B, and  
screwdriver-type front panel potentiometer,  
tested at the factory. It consists of a printed circuit board,  
and six wires that are soldered to the main power supply board.  
The crowbar monitors the output voltage of the power supply and fires an SCR that effectively shorts  
The trip voltage is determined by the setting of the  
the output when it exceeds the preset trip voltage.  
The trip voltage range is as follows:

Trip Voltage Range  
To prevent transients from falsely tripping the crowbar, the trip voltage must be set higher than the  
power supply output voltage by the following margin: 4% of the output voltage plus 2V. The margin repre-  
sents the minimum crowbar trip setting for a given output voItage;  
than this margin.  
the trip voltage can always be set higher  
OPERATION:  
1. Turn the CROWBAR ADJUST fully clockwise to set the trip voltage to maximum.  
2.  
Set the power supply VOLTAGE control for the desired crowbar trip voltage. To prevent false crow-  
bar tripping, the trip voltage should exceed the desired output voltage by the following amount: 4% of the  
output voltage plus 2V.  
3. Slowly turn the CROWBAR ADJUST ccw until the crowbar trips, output goes to 0V or a small posi-  
tive voltage.  
4. The crowbar will remain activated and the output shorted until the supply is turned off. To reset  
the crowbar, turn the supply off, then on.  
5. If the CROWBAR must be completely disabled, remove the lead attached to the CROWBAR ADJUST  
potentiometer R5.
