| Type |
Bipolar, 4-quadrant, DC current source |
| Current generation |
Linear regulation with digital setting and analog control |
| Current range |
±60 A |
| Compliance voltage |
±5 V maximum (nominal, both source and sink) |
| Maximum power |
300 W |
| Load reactance |
0 H to 100 H |
| Current ripple (max) |
4 mA RMS at 60 A, (0.007%) into 1 mΩ load (significantly reduced into a reactive load or at lower current) |
| Current ripple frequency |
Dominated by line frequency and its harmonics |
| Temperature coefficient |
±15 ppm of full scale/°C |
| Line regulation |
15 ppm/6% line change |
| Source impedance |
25 Ω |
| Stability (1 h) |
1 mA/h (after warm-up) |
| Stability (24 h) |
10 mA/24 h (typical, dominated by temperature coefficient and line regulation) |
| Isolation |
Output optically isolated from chassis to prevent ground loops |
| Parallel operation |
2 units can be paralleled for ±120 A, ±5 V operation |
| Protection |
Quench, line loss, low line voltage, high line voltage, output over voltage, output over current, over temperature, and remote inhibit (on critical error conditions, magnet discharges at 1 V nominal)
