Reliability

Reliability of electronic semiconductor equipment depends heavily on the

temperature of the components. The lower the temperature of the

components, the better the reliability. The Agilent E3632A incorporate

circuitry to reduce the internal power dissipation of the power supply and

therefore reduce the internal heat of the power supply. Maximum internal

power dissipation occurs at maximum current. The internal power dissipation

further increases as the output voltage is lowered. A fan internal to the Agilent

E3632A is essential to keep internal temperatures low. To assist in cooling the

Agilent E3632A, the sides and rear of the Agilent E3632A should be kept clear.
