Advanced Energy’s UltraVolt High Power C series of regulated DC-to-DC supplies is optimal for laser, cap-charging, pulsed power, pulse generator, and test equipment applications.

  • Maximum Output Voltage/Power: 60 kV DC/250 W
  • Type: Single output
  • Ripple: < 10,000 ppm
  • Control Interface: Analog
  • Temperature Coefficient: To 25 ppm/⁰C


Overview

  • The UltraVolt High Power C series features 17 highly efficient models that range from 125 to 60,000 VDC. They are available in single–output positive or negative polarities. Benefit from up to 250 W of fast-rise charging power with less than 1% overshoot from a 24 VDC input. Easily control and monitor high voltage output and current from one of the several available analog interfaces. The High Power C series is a smart choice for applications needing greater than 30 W of high power density.
