About IT6700 

With widest voltage and current range, IT6700 digital DC power supplies are applied in many fields. 
Take IT6720 for example, with max power 100W and output adjustable in 60V/5A, auto control voltage/current slew rate, power rate up to three times rapid than other similar products, a unit can replace three models (60V*1.6A/ 32V*3A/ 20V*5A), reduce your repeat investment.

Example: 

When you set the output voltage as 60V, because the max power of IT6720 is 100W, so the max output current is 100W/60V=1.6A. When you change the output voltage to 30V, the output current is 100W/30V=3.2A. Calculate according to the above way when the output voltage is 20V, the output current should be 5A, but as the max rating current of IT6720 is 8A, so the final max output current is 5A.

Battery charging protection

WARNING: Pay attention to the positive and negative terminals when connecting the battery. If the battery is connected reversely to the power supply, it will result in damage to the power supply.

When using the power supply to charge the battery, a diode and a fuse must be connected in series with the output as shown in the following figure to protect the circuit . The detailed methodology is shown as follows.

The role of the diode and the fuse in the above figure is described as below.

• The role of the diode is to block any reverse voltage and current flow to the battery to protect the power supply and prevent the internal parts from damage. The series diode can also avoid the condition that the battery discharges due to the internal resistive load of the power supply in the power-off or output-off state.

When selecting the diode, the user should consider the following notes. 
The current capacity of the diode should be 110% of the rating current of the battery at least. When setting the input voltage of the battery, the user need to consider the threshold voltage of the diode. The typical threshold voltage of a silicon diode is 0.6 V to 0.7 V. The reverse breakdown voltage of the diode should be more than twice the rating voltage of the battery. The user also need to consider the power of the diode and add a heat sink when necessary

• The role of the fuse is to interrupt the current by melting the metal wire in it when the current rises to a certain value, thereby protecting the circuit.

When selecting the fuse, the user should consider the following notes. The rating current of the fuse should be 150% to 200% of the maximum current of the battery and be less than 150% of the maximum output current of the power supply.
