DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT 

1.1 

Electrical Specification 

1.1.1 

Supply Requirements 

 

KV5-100 mk3  115/230V 

10% 600VA max 

1.1.2 

Output Specifications 

 

The output voltage, current and duty cycle are as follows: 

Unit 

Output voltage 

Output current 

5 min on/ 

15 min off 

1 min on/ 

15 min off 

40 seconds on/ 

15 min off 

KV5-100 mk3 

0-5kV 

100mA 

 

 

One  side  of  the  high  voltage  transformer  output  is  connected  to  the  earth  system  of  the 
equipment. 

1.1.3 

Zero Voltage Interlock 

 

The equipment is fitted with a zero volt interlock system on the output control.  This interlock 
prevents  the  output  being  energised  unless  the  output  control  is  in  the  minimum  output 
position. 

1.1.4 

External Interlock 

 

The  equipment  is  fitted  with  a  external  interlock  system.      The  interlock  socket  on  the  back 
panel must have a short circuit across it terminals to enable the output to be energised. 

 

Note:  the  open  circuit  voltage  across  the  interlock  terminals  is  240Vac  and  is  connected 
directly to the mains supply. 

 

The  unit  is  supplied  with  a  plug  fitted  to  the  external  interlock  socket  on  the  rear  of  the  unit.  
The  plug  contains  a  shorting  link  to  enable  the  unit.    If  external  interlocks  are  used,  the 
interlocks  should  replace  the  shorting  link.    Please  note  that  the  output  will  not  switch  on 
without either the link fitted in the plug or a closed external interlock circuit. 

1.2 

Output Voltage Control 

 

The  output  from  the  equipment  is  controlled  from  zero  by  means  of  the  output  control.    To 
increase the output voltage turn the control knob in a clockwise direction. 

Note:

 

The  output  cannot  be  energised  unless  the  regulator  knob  is  set  to  zero,  thus  operating  the 
zero voltage interlock switch.
