Capacitor charging module packs more power

The CCM capacitor charging module is a compact cost-effective high-voltage OEM power supply originally designed to power UV light sources for curing and sterilisation

New from Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, the CCM capacitor charging module is a compact cost-effective high-voltage OEM power supply originally designed to power UV light sources for curing and sterilisation. Other uses include industrial and medical lasers, as well as ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) applications.

Providing 3.1kJ/s at up to 4kV, the CCM's power density of 6.6W/in3 packs 30% more power into the same size volume of other commercially available units.

The CCM's power factor corrected AC input circuitry provides a wide range of input voltage capability while minimising utility service input current requirements.

The CCM also provides a low voltage +24V DC at 2.2A output to power remote auxiliary circuitry.

By combining a simple modular design, a robust IGBT-based inverter topology, and Spellman's proprietary high voltage packaging, Spellman has achieved a reliable, cost effective power supply ideal for a variety of capacitor charging applications.

Comprehensive digital fault diagnostics and a simplified analogue interface make system integration of the CCM relatively straightforward.
