HV power supplies set for Newbury outing

Alrad Instruments will be displaying a range of SDS HV power products on Stand 23 at the EMC UK 2006 exhibition at Newbury Racecourse on 17th and 18th October 2006. As specialist in the design and manufacture of high-stability low-ripple regulated high-voltage units, SDS offers a wide range of solutions of high voltage power supplies from 500V to 80kV and maximum power up to 500W. An example of one of the products is the GIPO series high voltage pulse generator Q-switch, patented - under licence from the French Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA).

It is a one-edged, fast pulsed, power supply module for the control of beam steering, gating, driving grids and other capacitive (high impedance) loads enabling the fast commutation of an optical signal (2.5ns).

The stability of the high voltage power supply integrated in the module is very high (10ppm/C).

The pulse output connector (BNC) will drive various devices including: Pockels' cells and Q switches in laser systems, microchannel plates, photomultiplier tubes, control grids of power vacuum tubes, acoustic transducers etc.
