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.
