Developed for mass spectroscopy and electron microscopy, these bipolar modules have application in particle accelerators, piezo-ceramic actuators, and electrophoresis equipment
Applied Kilovolts has launched a range of high voltage, zero crossing, reversible power supplies.
The six members of the HPZ series have output voltages ranging from +/-1kV to +/-10kV, with up to +/-15kV available to special order.
Developed for use with applications such as mass spectroscopy and electron microscopes, these bipolar modules also have broader application in sectors as diverse as particle accelerators, piezo-ceramic actuators and electrophoresis equipment.
Effectively high voltage amplifiers, the high stability modules have excellent linearity and operate from an input voltage of 24V +/-10% at 1A.
Load regulation is less than 100ppm for zero to maximum load, while line regulation is less than 20ppm for 1V change in input.
"Understanding our customers' applications enables us to optimise parameters such as slew rate and ripple to meet their particular requirements," said Applied Kilovolts's technical sales manager Jim Edwards.
Standard slewing times, including settling time, vary from 20ms to 50ms full scale to full scale, while ripple at full load varies from 55mV to 300mV peak to peak.
Control of output voltage is by an external +/-10V analogue control voltage.
The standard modules measure 159x185x47mm.
Flashover and short circuit protection are incorporated.
