Line Regulation (Source Effect) CONSTANT VOLTAGE (CV) TESTS Definition: Line regulation is the change in the steady state CV Setup. For all CV tests set the output current at full rated value of dc output voltage due to a change in ac input voltage output to assure CV operation. The onset of constant current from a minimum to a maximum value(±10% of nominal volt- can cause a drop in output voltage, increased ripple, and age). other performance changes not properly ascribed to the con- stant volt

Constant voltage PARD is measured in the root-mean- square(rms) or peak-to-peak(pp) values over a 20 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Fluctuations below the lower frequency limit are treated as drift.
