Capacitor Chargers Deliver 500V to 1kV Outputs

Digital Power Corporation announced the release of high power additions to its family of advanced capacitor charger products. This product family includes a series of highly efficient and high power compact capacitor charger power supplies designed for medical laser systems and industrial applications. The power supplies charge capacitive loads to high voltages with excellent pulse-to-pulse repeatability at very high rates, allowing load capacitors to be charged in the fastest time possible. Products support output voltages ranging from 500 Volts to 1,000 Volts and offer charge rates ranging from 1,500 joules/sec to 2,200 joules/sec.

The new models increase the power output capability from 3,000 Watts to 6,000 Watts. Customized sizing is available to meet the form factor requirements of specific applications.

The capacitor chargers deliver clean and efficient power for pulsed YAG lasers, flashlamp pumped laser systems, intense pulsed light excimer lasers for photolithography, pulsed UV lasers for curing and sterilization, pulsed energy lasers for cosmetic and surgical treatments and other pulsed energy applications in medical and industrial markets.

Amos Kohn, president and CEO of Digital Power, comments, “The new higher power capacitor chargers demonstrate our commitment to continued innovation in the development of power solutions for a broad range of industries and challenging environments.” Mr. Kohn adds, “Implementing reactive charging technology, duty cycle control and programmable circuitry, these products provide great advantages when dealing with energy storage in the thousands of joules.”
