Overview

The UltraVolt C series includes seven models ranging from 125 to 6,000 VDC of maximum high voltage power. They C series models are available in single-output positive or negative polarities. From a 24 VDC input, access up to 30 W of fast-rise charging power with less than 1% overshoot. Choose from PCB or chassis mounts and select mechanical and electrical performance options to meet your specific application needs.

Advanced Energy's UltraVolt C series is ideal for high-energy pulsers, amplifiers, and discharge devices with large capacitance, fast repetition rates, or high-current loads.

Benefits

  • Achieve higher system throughput with quick capacitor charging
  • Minimize stress on storage capacitors, enhance system reliability and simplify product design
  • Upgrade module and system performance without changing PCB or chassis layout
  • Responsive and adaptable control of high voltage capacitor charging processes
  • Expand mechanical integration, external RF protection, and interconnection possibilities

Features

  • Fast-rise charging power delivered from an optimized design
  • Limited overshoot, typically less than 1% of high voltage setpoint, depending on the application
  • Configurable high-voltage out, power and polarity in a common, compact footprint
  • Full-range control and monitoring of high-voltage output and current
  • Selection of electrical, shielding and mechanical integration options
