BHK-MG models are designed for bench or rack mount use with both front and rear output terminals. In slow mode, the output capacitor provides excellent energy storage to support transient loads. In fast mode, the output capacitor is disconnected and the power supply depends on its fast-responding feedback loop to suppress ripple and noise. Fast mode is ideal for operation as a current source, or as a rapidly programmed voltage source where the energy storage of a conventional output capacitor would inhibit the output voltage's agility.
Control is either analog or digital.
Analog control is based on the idea of an operational amplifier in which the power supply output is programmable from zero to maximum with a 0-10V signal. Resolution is 12 bits and controls both voltage and current. A front panel keypad provides local control. The display is an alphanumeric two-line LCD which provides both setting values and actual voltage and current readings.
