Precision Unipolar and Reversible High Voltage Modules

LN001, LN2.5, LN005, LN010, LN015, LN020, LN030

Applications: mass spectrometers, electron microscopes, surface science instruments, nuclear instruments, photo multiplier tubes and micro-channel plates

  • Unipolar and reversible versions available
  • Exceptionally low levels of low frequency (LF) noise and drift
  • High stability, low ripple, low microphony
  • Low partial discharge
  • Fast recovery from load transients
  • Analogue or digital control options
  • Differential analogue input
  • Short circuit and flashover proof
  • Positive, negative and remote reversible versions
  • <10ppm/°C temperature co-efficient (tighter temp-co available upon request)

This range of precision high voltage modules has outputs that provide exceptionally low levels of noise, microphony and drift and is specifically designed for easy integration into systems requiring multiple high voltages. The modules are the ideal HV sources for mass-spectrometry, electron gun, ion gun, photomultiplier, nuclear and other applications.

All units are short circuit proof and use proprietary low noise techniques to achieve a very low ripple with negligible harmonics and exceptional low frequency noise performance. The units have a differential input to minimize coupling of noise. The power supplies are designed for reliability, building on the data gained from many years of field operation of LN predecessors.

Positive, negative, and electrically reversible outputs are available at voltages up to 30kV. The reversible unit has a solid-state switching mechanism that can change polarity at full output voltage whilst maintaining very low levels of noise and partial discharge during switching.

Standard units have a 1m low noise screened cable for the high voltage output, but other cable lengths are available. We manufacture customized versions of these units and would be pleased to discuss your application with you.
