The BK Precision VSP series manual provides detailed instructions on the installation, operation, and maintenance of high power switching DC power supplies, including features such as constant voltage and current modes, remote interface options, and safety precautions. It also includes troubleshooting guidance to address common issues and ensure the safe and efficient use of the power supplies.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision VSP series high power switching DC power supplies include models VSP6020, VSP2050, VSP4030, and VSP12010. These units are designed for high efficiency and feature both constant voltage and constant current modes. They incorporate power factor correction to maintain a near-unity power factor and limit input current harmonics. Troubleshooting involves checking the digital interface, which provides 12-bit resolution for control and monitoring. Error codes and diagnostics can be accessed through the RS232 or GPIB interfaces. Calibration and adjustments are facilitated by multi-turn potentiometers for voltage and current settings. The power supplies offer isolated analog programming and monitoring, with options for 0 to 5 Volts or 0 to 10 Volts output. Board-level guidance includes ensuring proper installation and connection, especially when using the remote sensing and parallel current sharing features. The units are equipped with internal forced air cooling and a sleek 1U high, 19-inch rack construction, allowing for zero stacking. Safety precautions are crucial, particularly when dealing with high voltages, and the use of isolation transformers is recommended to prevent shock hazards.
Quick Issues Covered

Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes users to danger from electrical shock, as testing sometimes involves exposed voltage. A current of 10 milliamps passing through the heart can stop most human heartbeats, and voltages as low as 35 volts can be dangerous. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat. Safety precautions include:
– Avoid exposing high voltage unnecessarily and turn off equipment while making test connections in high voltage circuits. Discharge high voltage capacitors after removing power.
– Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and its high voltage points, but remember high voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment.
– Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor to stand on and an insulated work surface, ensuring they are not damp or wet.
– Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe to avoid contact with nearby metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
– Remember that ac line voltage is usually present on some power input circuits even if the equipment is turned off.
– Treat all two-wire ac equipment as “hot chassis” unless certain it is isolated or earth ground chassis. Use an isolation transformer between the ac outlet and the equipment under test.
– Use only a 3-wire outlet for test instruments or equipment with a 3-wire ac power plug to keep exposed elements at earth ground.
– B&K Precision products are not authorized for use in applications involving direct contact with the human body or as a critical component in life support devices.
– Never work alone; someone should be nearby to render aid if necessary. Training in CPR and first aid is recommended.
