Kepco Announces Four Quadrant Power Supplies For Magnet & Motor Applications

July 09, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Kepco introduced 200W (except BOP 200-1M) and 400W BOP models optimized for driving inductive loads as an option to their standard line of BOP power supplies. This option makes the BOP suitable for a wide variety of applications such as motor testing, testing of magnetic components (coils, speakers, etc.), industrial applications with inductive loads, driving CRT coils, cryogenic applications and powering correcting magnets for medical imaging applications or particle accelerators.

These BOP units are designed to operate in a stable manner in Current or Current Limit Mode for loads up to 1H. They are also stable with any R-L series load combination. All specifications of the unit in voltage mode are unchanged from the standard model. All specifications listed below are for inductive load models in Current Mode. All other specifications are identical to the standard BOP.

For models not listed, please consult factory. In current mode the bandwidth of the BOP is reduced modestly when operating with a resistive load. Correspondingly, the rise and fall time of the unit is increased somewhat (model dependent). Further, it is possible to reduce the bandwidth in current mode in a predictable way, using one customer installed component on the rear programming connector of the BOP.
