This is one of the best explanations of CV and CC modes. Now I know the CC mode is entered automatically when the current being withdrawn by a particular load exceeds the maximum current set on the power supply. Great and clear explanation.

Thanks! The meaning of the "current' setting on power supplies is one of those things that isn't necessarily obvious, so I thought a short video might be a good idea :) Appreciate the support!

[@wasiuadeleke6869]

This is a great explanation about CC and CV. Very helpful

[@colindiggle9377]

tried for ages sort cc out never got it right this has helped so much one step neara thanks so much colin x

[@pauldenisowski]

Thanks - glad it was helpful!

Does the power supply actually measure the resistance of the load or does it get that value from V/I?
