The LX Series are 1000 watt regulated high voltage DC power supplies
with an important difference ... maximum current ratings are equivalent to a 2000W supply! This maximum
current, which is available for all output voltages up to 50% of rated voltage, should be of significant
interest for many applications. The LX is offered with dual analog voltage and current meters or,
optionally, with dual digital meters, or a blank panel for OEM/systems applications.
Features
*Extended
Current. LX models have maximum current ratings that are equivalent to a 2000W supply. These currents are
available up to 50% of rated output voltage. Above this point, current is derated to maintain a constant 1000
W maximum output.
Pulse-Width Modulation. Off-the-line pulse-width modulation provides high
efficiency and a reduced parts count for improved reliability.
Air Insulated. The LX Series features "air" as the primary
dielectric medium. No oil or encapsulation is used to impede serviceability or increase weight.
Constant Voltage/Constant Current Operation. Automatic crossover from
constant-voltage to constant-current regulation provides protection against overloads, arcs, and short circuits.
Low Ripple. Ripple is less than 0.03% of rated voltage at full load.
Tight Regulation. Voltage regulation is better than 0.005% for allowable
line and load variations. Current regulation is better than 0.05% from short circuit to rated voltage.
Front Panel Controls (Analog and Digital Versions.) Separate 10-turn
controls with locking vernier dials are used to set voltage and current levels. A high voltage enable switch
and an AC power on/off switch complete the panel controls. L.E.D.'s indicate when high voltage is on, the
output polarity, and whether the supply is operating in a voltage or current regulating mode. For the blank
panel version, only a power on/off switch is provided on the panel.
Small Size and Weight. LX Series power supplies occupy only 8.75 inches
of panel height. Net weight is less than 47 pounds.
Warranty. Standard power supplies are warranted for three years; OEM and
modified power supplies are warranted for one year. A formal warranty statement is available.
Specifications
(From 5 to 100% of rated voltage. All units operate down to zero output
with very slight degradation of performance.)
Input: 102-132V RMS, single-phase, 48-63Hz, <20 A. A 3-position
terminal block with protective cover is provided.
Efficiency: Typically 85% at full load.
Output: Continuous, stable adjustment, from 0 to rated voltage or
current by panel mounted 10-turn potentiometers with 0.05% resolution, or by external 0 to 10V signals is
provided. Linearity is <1% of rated. Accuracy is 1% of rated + 1% of setting. Repeatability is <0.1%
of rated.
Stored Energy: 60kV: 15J; 125kV: 30J.
Voltage Regulation: Better than 0.005% for specified line variations
and 0.005% + 1 mV/mA for load variations.
Ripple: <0.03% of rated voltage + 1V RMS at full load (0.1% for
150 kV).
Current Regulation: Better than 0.05% from short circuit to rated
voltage at any load condition.
Voltage Monitor: 0 to +10V equivalent to 0 to rated voltage. Accuracy,
1% reading +1% rated.
Current Monitor: 0 to +10V equivalent to 0 to rated current. Accuracy,
1% reading + 0.1% rated for single polarity, 1% reading + 0.15% rated for reversible polarity.
Stability: 0.01% per hour after 1/2 hour warmup, 0.05% per 8 hours.
Voltage Rise/Decay Time Constant: 50 ms typical to 60kV (400 ms for
higher voltages) with a 30% resistive load using either HV on/off or remote programming control.
Temperature Coefficient: 0.01% per degree C.
Ambient Temperature: -20 to +40 degrees C, operating; -40 to +85
degrees C, storage.
Polarity: Available with either positive, negative, or reversible
polarity with respect to chassis ground.
Protection: Automatic current regulation protects against all overloads,
including arcs and shorts. Fuses, surge-limiting resistors, and low energy components provide ultimate protection.
Accessory: Detachable 8-foot HV cable. See models chart for cable type.
Remote Controls: Terminal block is provided for all remote functions,
including common, +10V reference, interlock, voltage and current program/monitor, HV Enable/Disable, ground,
and local control.
External Interlock: Open off, closed on. Normally latching except for
blank panel version where it is non-latching.
HV Enable/Disable: 0-1.5V off, 2.5-15V on.
