1.1 Description of the SL150
he SL150 voltage power supply provides very well
regulated, low ripple high voltage in a highly
efficient, compact design. The improvements in size
and performance over traditionally designed high voltage
power supplies are due to the resonant topology and
unique control circuitry of the SL design. A proprietary
control system maintains high frequency over the
operating output range. High frequency operation allows
a dynamic response time of less than 5 milliseconds, and
one of the lowest ripple specifications in the industry at
this power level. The combination of proprietary control
system and proprietary protection circuitry enables the
supplies to operate under arcing and extreme transient
conditions without damage or interruptions.
The DC output voltage and current are continuously
adjustable from zero to the maximum rating via two front
panel ten-turn locking potentiometers. These high
voltage power supplies have 0.005% load regulation,
0.005% line regulation, and 0.1% p-p ripple.
The supplies operate from either a 200 (option) or 220
Volt, single phase AC line. Other line voltages are
available. Options are listed in Table 1.1 and are
described in Section 5. Custom designed units to meet
special needs are also available.
