6.1 Konstant effektdesign

Figure 6.1: Constant Power Wide Range Specifications
The SPE8205 features a constant power design, allowing flexible configuration of higher voltage and current within its rated 500W power range. This means you can achieve various voltage/current combinations as long as their product does not exceed 500W. For example, you can set 80V at 6.25A or 25V at 20A.
6.2 Protection Functions (OVP, OCP, OTP, Short Circuit)
The power supply incorporates multiple protection mechanisms to safeguard both the unit and the connected load:
- Overvoltage-beskyttelse (OVP): Hvis output voltage exceeds the preset OVP limit, the output will be disabled. Set OVP using the OVP knap.
- Overstrømsbeskyttelse (OCP): If the output current exceeds the preset OCP limit, the output will be disabled. Set OCP using the OCP knap.
- Thermal Protection (OTP): The unit will shut down if internal temperatures become too high.
- Kortslutningsbeskyttelse: Automatically protects against short circuits at the output terminals.
- Overmandsbeskyttelse: Limits output power to prevent damage.

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the OWON SPE8205 power supply.
- Ingen strøm:
- Check if the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
- Ensure the rear power switch is in the ON position.
- Verify the AC outlet is functional.
- Check the fuse on the rear panel and replace if blown.
- No Output Voltage/aktuel:
- Ensure the front panel Til/Fra button is pressed to enable the output.
- Check if OVP or OCP has been triggered. If so, clear the fault and reset the output.
- Kontroller, at voltage and current settings are not set to zero.
- Inspect output leads for proper connection and continuity.
- Ustabilt output:
- Ensure the load is properly connected and stable.
- Check for loose connections in the output circuitry.
- Kontroller, at omgivelsestemperaturen er inden for det angivne driftsområde.
- Ventilatorstøj:
