Features


  • Efficient Simmer Supply: The SCA-3008 is designed to trigger and maintain a low-current discharge in flashlamps, enhancing their lifetime and operational stability.

  • Robust Output Capabilities: Delivers a maximum output power more than 100W and supports maximum output current of 800mA, high output voltage of 300V (the performance of simmer module is limited with maximum output current, or with maximum output voltage, or with maximum output power.).

  • Versatile Compatibility: Capable of driving long flashlamps or two standard flashlamps connected in series, adaptable to both serial and parallel triggering systems.

  • Automatic Voltage Adjustment: Output voltage is automatically set based on the current set point and V/A curve of the flashlamp.

  • Flexible Triggering Parameters: Default trigger voltage is 1 kV with an energy pulse of ~150 mJ and a restrike rate of ~3 Hz, customizable upon request.

  • Integrated Protections: Features short circuit and open circuit protections, ensuring reliable operation.

  • Cooling System: Comes with an integrated fan, requiring no additional cooling for optimal performance.

  • Compact and Lightweight: Measures 178x81x57 mm and weighs just 0.5 kg, making it easy to integrate into various systems.
