Regulated Power Supplies

  • CONTROL MODULE - All power supply controls and visual indicators are located in a 19" wide control module which can be mounted in the main power supply cabinet. It is also available for remote rack mounting, or in a separate enclosure for remote bench top mounting.
  • ANALOG INPUT - A 0 - 10V analog voltage is applied to the EXT INPUT providing for remote control of the power supply output current.
  • COARSE, MEDIUM AND FINE CURRENT CONTROL - All three current controls afford an easy and accurate way of setting the load current from one part in 103 to one part in 106 (-4SS).
  • OVERLOAD PROTECTION - Current limiting prevents the power supply from exceeding maximum rated current output by automatically turning the DC power OFF.
  • CURRENT METER - The total output current flowing through the output load is indicated on the 4½ digit meter display.
  • FLOW SWITCH INTERLOCK - Prevents DC power from being applied unless adequate water flow is established.
  • CASTER MOUNTED - All power supplies above 2.45 kW are mounted on casters to facilitate movement from one location to another when required.

General

Walker Scientific manufactures a broad range of high stability, current regulated DC power supplies. The built-in controls are designed to provide an output of continuously regulated DC current to a variety of output loads. The solid state regulator elements are capable of providing current stability of 0.0003% (3 ppm) to 0.001% depending upon the regulation option. Current regulation is accomplished by a solid state transistorized series regulator. A wide range of standard and non-standard output configurations are available from 1.25 kW to well over 100 kW. Numerous standard and optional features afford the versatility required to adapt to almost any current regulated power supply application.

Panel Mounted Control

Description:

The basic enclosure of every power supply contains all electrical/electronic components, a control panel, connections for AC input power, DC output terminals and standard hose couplings for water cooling requirements.

The standard rack mounted control module (see options for remote control console) is located in the top front section of the power supply. The panel includes COARSE, MEDIUM and FINE (-4SS only) CURRENT CONTROLS, a panel meter to display the output current, switches for power ON/OFF, DC ON, DC OFF with indicator lights for power ON, DC ON and water FLOW. Power supplies equipped with the current REVERSAL option will include a REVERSAL switch and indicator light. An EXT INPUT is provided for connection to an external sweep generator or controller.

Each power supply ordered with computer compatible interfaces will include both RS-232 and IEEE-488 ports located on the front panel. Only one port is active at any one time. See “Options” sections for detailed description.
