Kepco has introduced an option (identified by suffix C) to optimize 200W and 400W BOP models for driving capacitive loads. This option makes the BOP more suitable for a wide variety of applications such as solar cell/solar panel testing, testing of piezoelectric driving devices, capacitor testing, driving and testing of capacitive transducers, and powering industrial- or lab-type applications with capacitive or capacitive-resistive loads.
For guidance concerning whether to choose the optimized BOP-L version vs the standard BOP when operating with a capacitive load, refer to Kepoc's Application Note BOP 004: When to Use BOP Standard or Optimized (L or C Suffix) to Drive Reactive Loads.
BOP C option units are designed to operate in a stable manner in Voltage or Voltage Limit mode for capacitive loads up to 10 millifarads. They are also stable with any R-C load combinations.
They are also stable when driving any R-C parallel combination where load R is > or = to nominal value and C is < or = to 10mF. Load R (nominal value) = nominal output Voltage/nominal output Current (e.g., BOP 36-6MC, R = 36/6 = 6 Ohms. To prevent current limit mode operation, the equivalent impedence of the R-C parallel load circuit must be greater than the nominal R value at the working frequency.
Static specifications representing accuracy for various influence parameters are identical to the standard BOP models. Ripple and noise specifications are better (approximately 50% lower) for the C option units compared to the standard BOP.

All specifications listed are for capacitive load models in Voltage Mode.
|
| (2) |
Variations of the frequency response for the standard 10μF load create a larger 3-dB bandwidth than for a resistive load.
|
| (3) |
10% - 90%, with nominal resistive load.
|
| (4) |
Load between infinity and nominal resistive values.

The unit is shipped with a user-wirable mating connector for the IEC 320 style recessed power inlet connector. Optional line cords are available as accessories.
In voltage mode the bandwidth of the C option BOP is reduced versus the standard model, while the response time is increased. Variations of the frequency response can be nearly eliminated by reducing the bandwidth in voltage mode in a predictable manner. This is done using one customer-installed capacitor in parallel with the internal compensation capacitance to increase the compensation capacitance.
