Operation
The B & K-Precision Model 1610 and 1630 DC Power Supplies can operate in either constant voltage or constant current modes. The crossover between these modes is smooth and automatic, indicated by LEDs for “CV” (constant voltage) or “CC” (constant current) operation. In constant voltage mode, a current limit can be preset, and if load variations cause the current to reach this limit, the unit will regulate the output current instead of the voltage. Conversely, in constant current mode, the maximum voltage can be preset, and if load variations cause the current to drop below the regulated value, the unit will revert to regulated voltage operation. The power supplies feature reverse polarity protection and current limiting to prevent damage. The output is isolated from the chassis and earth ground, allowing for flexible connections, including series and parallel configurations for increased voltage or current output.
