Description
The PCA-20 and PCA-25 capacitor charging modules are expertly engineered high-frequency switch-mode converters designed to transform AC input into a precisely regulated high voltage DC output, specifically for charging capacitors. These modules are distinguished by their robust power capabilities, with the PCA-20 offering a maximum output power of 2000W and the PCA-25 providing an impressive 2500W. Customers can select a maximum output voltage (VMAX) ranging from 300V to 2000V at the time of order, ensuring flexibility to meet various application requirements.
These modules come optimized by default for partial discharge applications, which is ideal for many industrial and medical uses. However, complete discharge modifications can be requested, allowing for broader application versatility. An important feature of the PCA-20 and PCA-25 is their compliance with medical grade standards, specifically IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2, making them readily integrable into medical systems without the need for additional modifications.
The PCA-20 and PCA-25 are designed with user safety and operational efficiency in mind. They include built-in protections against open-circuit, short-circuit, overheating, and overvoltage scenarios. The modules maintain a high efficiency of over 85% and feature a power factor correction coefficient of 0.98, ensuring effective energy use. Additionally, the modules are equipped with a forced air cooling system, supported by a built-in fan, to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prolong the lifespan of the device.
In terms of environmental resilience, these modules operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from +10°C to +40°C and can be stored safely between -20°C and +60°C. They are designed to function effectively in humid conditions, with a tolerance of up to 90% non-condensing humidity. With dimensions of approximately 216x153x132mm and a weight of around 2.9kg, these modules are compact yet powerful solutions for capacitor charging needs.
