PLZ Series: How to Effectively Improve Safety during Load Testing of Non-isolated AC/DC Converter

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
PLZ Series: How to Effectively Improve Safety during Load Testing of  Non-isolated AC/DC Converter 22/06/2021
PLZ Series: How to Effectively Improve Safety during Load Testing of Non-isolated AC/DC Converter Considering minimising the potential shock hazard, the use of an isolation transformer or regulated power supply is critical during load testing of a non-isolated AC/DC converter (such as PFC). This white paper explains; what happens without an isolation transformer or regulated A...

How to Calculate Input Current for PCR-LE/MA Series 22/06/2021
How to Calculate Input Current for PCR-LE/MA Series Before installing PCR-LE or MA Series, you may want to know how much current should be supplied from the distribution board. The best way is to calculate the current consumption (= input current) of your PCR-LE or MA Series. Here are the examples how to calculate the input current based on your output requirement (your outp...

Parallel Operation with Different Power Supply Models

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
Parallel Operation with Different Power Supply Models 22/06/2021
Parallel Operation with Different Power Supply Models The same model of Kikusui DC power supplies can be connected in parallel. By connecting the signal cables, one unit is set as the master unit and it can control the other units. This operation is called as ‘master-slave parallel operation’. Master-slave parallel operation is not available when connecting the different ...

CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode 22/06/2021
CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode To charge batteries, it is recommended that you connect a diode in series at an output of DC power supply (See Figure 1). With a diode, constant current (CC) can be properly supplied; however constant voltage (CV) may be unstable if using remote sensing at battery terminals. Without a diode, a high c...

Programming Example: SSA/SVA analyser screen image capture using Python over LAN

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
Programming Example: SSA/SVA analyser screen image capture using Python over LAN 22/06/2021
Here is a brief code example written in Python 3.4 that uses a socket to pull a display image (screenshot) from a SIGLENT SSA/SVA analyser via LAN and save it to the local drive of the controlling computer. NOTE: This program saves the picture/display image file in the same directory that the .py file is being run from. It will overwrite any existing file that has the same na...

Build FM NRSC masks for SIGLENT SSA3000X/SVA1000Xs using a Python script

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
Build FM NRSC masks for SIGLENT SSA3000X/SVA1000Xs using a Python script 22/06/2021
Many broadcast applications require monitoring a transmitter and observing the output amplitude vs. frequency. For FM radio applications, a common mask is defined by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is commonly referred to as the FM NRSC mask. A very helpful SIGLENT owner, Dan from Alabama Broadcast Servi...

Programming Example: Return Peak Table Data with an SSA3000X Spectrum Analyser 22/06/2021
The SIGLENT SSA3000X series of spectrum analysers have an on-screen peak detection that can be used to easily show the peak values in a Configure the instrument span, RBW, and amplitude to capture the signals of interest Send “:CALC:M...

Testing Intrinsic Safety Barrier fusing and circuitry using an Electronic Load

Posted on: June 22nd, 2021 by Doug Lovell
Testing Intrinsic Safety Barrier fusing and circuitry using an Electronic Load 22/06/2021
From Wikipedia: Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. The idea is to minimise the risk of fire or explosion by physically eliminating any potential source of ignition. Many IS circuits utilise special fusing and elements that are de...
