While a common unipolar dc source might be able to create a 100 ms pulse width and a high performance unipolar dc source might be able to create a 1 ms pulse width a bipolar power supply often.
Bipolar dc power supplies.
These supplies can typically operate in all four quadrants and are therefore known as four quadrant power supplies.
They share a common ground and the output can be any combination of polarities or voltages.
Magnet power supplies should have low noise dc outputs especially in the low frequency range.
The following bipolar power supply systems are available.
Broadband bipolar power supplies are available for ripple testing by responding to higher frequencies.
The pbz sr bp series are designed based on the pbz intelligent bipolar power supply series that supports large currents up to 200 a and is assembled with exclusive rack system smart rack.
In the atx.
Aside from that the bipolar power supplies which can add ac to dc are suitable for evaluation tests and aging.
The pbz sr bp series is a series of high power bipolar dc stabilized power supplies.
Another name for these is bipolar since they are able to produce either positive or negative voltage on their output terminals.
In quadrants 1 and 3 a bipolar supply is sourcing power.
They are fully equipped with safety functions including sinking current.
Current flows out of the more positive.
In figure 1 we have an example of a bi polar power supply using two 9 volt batteries.
