The PCA-40 capacitor charging module is a sophisticated high-frequency switch-mode converter designed to efficiently transform AC input into regulated high voltage DC output, specifically for charging capacitors. This module is engineered to deliver a maximal output power of 4000W for partial discharge applications and 3500J/s for complete discharge scenarios. It offers a standard output voltage range from 300V to 1500V, with custom modifications available to extend the output voltage up to 4000V upon request.

By default, the PCA-40 is configured for partial discharge, but it can be modified for complete discharge as needed. Notably, this module is classified as "medical grade," making it suitable for medical applications without requiring any additional modifications. This ensures that the PCA-40 meets stringent safety and performance standards necessary for medical environments.

The PCA-40 module is equipped with an embedded fan for cooling, eliminating the need for any external cooling solutions. This design feature ensures that the module operates efficiently and maintains optimal performance without additional cooling infrastructure.

The module features a straightforward interface with clearly designated connectors and pins. The input is facilitated through two blue wires for 230VAC 50/60Hz input. The high voltage output is managed via a red wire for positive HV output and a black wire for negative HV output. Grounding is achieved through an M4 thread, which must be connected before the module is connected to the mains. The HV output negative and interface return are internally connected to the chassis ground, with alternative grounding policies available upon request.

The interface is managed through a MOLEX 0901301120 connector, offering various pins for different functionalities, including temperature testing, voltage programming, inhibit control, and status indicators. This comprehensive connectivity ensures that the PCA-40 can be seamlessly integrated into a variety of systems, providing reliable and efficient capacitor charging capabilities.
