Introduction
This chapter describes the general characteristics and main features of the NGPS –
New Generation Power Supply series.
1.1
NGPS Overview
High performances, high efficiency, high stability, easiness of configuration and
maintenance are the key features of the NGPS power supply series, generated by the
joint effort of CAEN ELS and OCEM – Power Electronics.
The NGPS is an independent current (or voltage) digitally controlled monopolar
power supply module. There are available different models with different current and
voltage ranges. Standard models are air-cooled units, enclosed in 19-inch 3U crates.
Alternatively, custom models are enclosed in 19-inch crates with different unit
height size, depending upon space requirements of internal electronics.
Among custom models, several options are available such as:
•
Auxiliary 230 Vac power supply separated from the main power supply:
NGPS-CAX
models;
•
Coordination with Quench Detector and Heater optional crates for
superconductive magnet applications:
NGPS-CQD
models;
•
Voltage generator:
NGPS-CVF
models;
•
Custom data communication protocol:
NGPS-CMD
models.
Moreover, water cooled model are available, whose names ends with “
H
” letter.
: Standard NGPS models reports standard air-cooled units in 3U size, while
Table 1b
reports the list of available custom models.
Although this manual refers to standard models, it can also be applied to custom models
for what regards the basic functionalities.
Anyway, dedicated manual addendum for custom models are available.
