Description
The OP1400PR test benches are equipped with ITECH IT6000C series Bi-directional DC Power Supplies. These power supplies provide the OP8110 4-Quadrant amplifiers with a constant 500 VDC input voltage and allow the amplifiers to consume or to feed back power from/to the 3-phase mains input. The amount of power supply units and the power ratings of each unit have been especially chosen by OPAL-RT so that the test bench can deliver its full performance.
Functional Overview
The IT6000C power supplies support many different configurations and modes of operation. However, OPAL-RT recommends limiting the use of the power supplies to the following 3 steps after turning them on:
Set the output voltage setpoint using the V-set button [#1], the numerical keypad and the Enter button to 500 V.
Set the positive output current limit using the I-set button [#2], the numerical keypad and the Enter button to the recommended maximum positive value (see table below).
Set the negative output current by pressing the I-set button [#2] again and by configuring with the numerical keypad and the Enter button to the maximum recommended negative value
Use the +/- button to set the sign to negative, see the table below.Turn on the output voltage using the On/Off button [#3].
Amount of OP8110 groups supplied per DC supply | Recommended maximum positive output current | Recommended maximum negative output current |
|---|---|---|
1 | 15 A | -15 A |
2 | 30 A | -30 A |
WARNING! Operating the IT6000C power supplies at different settings/limits than what is recommended by OPAL-RT may put personnel and equipment at risk!
For detailed documentation on the power supplies, please refer to the user manual of the IT6000C series on ITECH's website : http://www.itech.sh/en/product/dc-power-supply/IT6000C.html.

Last: Indicates when powered on, the instrument will remain the same parameter settings and output status as last time you powered off the instrument.
Last+Off: Indicates when powered on, the instrument will remain the same settings as last time you powered off the instrument, but the output status is Off.
On/Off Synch Cable
OP1400PR test benches, having more than one ITECH power supply, include an On/Off synchronization cable.
The synchronization cable allows you to link the On/Off functionality of multiple ITECH units.
Pushing the On/Off button on one unit, will automatically change the On/Off status of the other units as well.
