PCP-17 capacitor charging power supply

PCP-17 capacitor charging module is a high-frequency switch-mode modern and effective AC/DC converter, which transforms DC input or rectified mains (external rectifier is needed) to regulated high voltage DC output to charge capacitors. It was developed for the use in pumping systems of flashlamp-pumped solid-state laser devices in industrial and laboratory applications. However, relatively low power factor correction (PFC) value of 0.9 is insufficient for using the device in medical equipment.

Output power is over 1750 W for modifications with partial discharge (PD) and over 1500 J/s for modifications with complete discharge (CD). Maximum output voltage is customer defined at the moment of order in range from 300 V up to 1500 V (4000 V on request). During operation an output voltage level can be chosen in working range (0 V – V_max) by user, applying a DC voltage to the respective pin.

The actual output power depends on relation between actual operating voltage and V_max. We would recommend to pick V_max as close as possible to your operating voltage in order to utilize completely the output power of the device.

The efficiency of the supply is over 85% at maximum output voltage.

PCP-17 is the most popular charging supply from PCP-line. High reliability and efficiency, easy to integrate OEM design and a lot of flexible parameters for customized solutions allows PCP-17 to be used in wide variety of industrial and laboratory applications. The module is suitable to operate in parallel with two or more devices.
