HW Series

100W High Voltage Modules

HW001, HW2.5, HW005, HW010, HW020, HW030, HW040 & HW050

Applications: Lasers, Capacitor charging, Ion Pumps, X-Ray, Ion Implantation, Magnetrons

  • 1kV, 2.5kV, 5kV, 10kV, 20kV, 30kV, 40kV & 50kV
  • High frequency switch mode control
  • Internal control or externally programmable
  • Short circuit and flashover proof
  • 24 hour burn in
  • Safety assessed to EN61010-1

The HW series of high voltage modules covers the range from 1kV to 50kV giving 100Watts of output power. Control of the output voltage is by internal potentiometer or by external potentiometer or by an external 10 volt analogue control voltage. Pins 1 to 10 of the 12 pin Molex input connector are pin compatible with both the high precision HP series and the general purpose KS series.

All units are short circuit proof and use high frequency switching techniques, in conjunction with a ferrite step-up transformer to control the output. The units operate from a 24V input and have an efficiency of around 80%.

O/P Current Control is now available as Constant Current Option

Please contact us to discuss special versions of these units.

Current Monitor On Hw Units
There are two current monitor options available for the HW series.

Stack Return Current Monitor

Simple lower cost Current Monitor: Current is measured between pin 11 and pin 9 (0 volt)

The current measured includes internal feedback currents used to control the unit. These currents, which are proportional to the output voltage, are 100uA on the HW series.

Load current Measured current I monitor current
0 mA 100 uA HW series at full voltage
0 mA 50 uA HW series at half voltage
1 mA 1.1 mA HW series at full voltage
2 mA 2.05 mA HW series at half voltage

Precision Current Monitor

The current monitor output is 0 to +10V represents 0 to true maximum current.
o/p impedance = 10kohms
