Voltage stabilization (CV)
Voltage stabilization (CV)
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

If you are searching for a particular term or definition, please contact us and our engineers will be glad to explain it to you.
For DC power supply
In DC voltage mode the power supply will produce current in accordance with the resistance value of the load, at the same time the specified input voltage will stay invariable. The retention of the preset voltage will last until the maximum acceptable current in the load is achieved. As a rule when the current exceeds the norm (current overload) the power supply automatically changes to current stabilization mode.
If the power supply is not protected against current overload it will get out of order in case of such overload.
Typically, for a mode indication there should be LED used with "CV" marking.
For electronic load
When testing the power supply in this mode there is current floating through the electronic load in accordance with the specified current on the power supply operating in current stabilization mode and the voltage stays constant when the input current of the power supply changes.
