4kW High Voltage Power Supplies

Spellman’s STA Series of 4kW high voltage power supplies are available in positive or negative polarities in 15 different models with outputs ranging from 1kV to 70kV. A full featured front panel allows easy local control, while an extensive analog interface provides comprehen­sive remote capability. The standard Ethernet and RS-232 digital interfaces simplify integrating the STA into your system design.

The STA’s robust IGBT inverter is inherently fault tolerant and is ideal for demanding applications like semiconductor processing and vacuum deposition. Many operational fea­tures can be configured by the user to suit their particular requirements.

Typical applications:

  • Ion Beam Implantation
  • Semiconductor Processing
  • Electron Beam Welding
  • Capacitor Charging
  • High Power RF Transmitters
  • Electrostatic Precipitators
  • X-Ray Systems

Digital Interface

The STA features a standard RS-232 and Ethernet digital interface. Utilizing these standard digital interfaces can dramatically simplify power supply interfacing require­ments saving the user both time and money, while enhan­cing functionality and overall capability. Spellman provides a GUI with the STA that allows the customer to both cus­tomize operational features of the STA while also providing basic power supply operational features.

Arc Intervention

Spellman’s STA power supplies have an arc intervention feature that senses arc currents via a fast acting current sense transformer. The purpose of the arc intervention circuitry is to prevent power supply damage from contin­uous, long term arcing. The factory default configuration will trip off the unit with an Arc Fault if 4 arcs occur in a 10 second time period. Customers can change basic arc intervention parameters (Arc Count, Arc Quench, Reramp Time, and Window Time) within preset limits via the digital interface; customized units can be provided for unique arc prone environments, contact Spellman for details.

Electronic Component (Power Source)

STA series is intended for installation as a component of a system. It is designed to meet CE standards, with conditions of acceptance often being: customer provided enclosure mounting, EMC filtering, and appropriate protection, and isolation devices. The STA series is not intended to be operated by end users as a stand-alone device. The STA series power supply can only be fully assessed when installed within a system, and as a component part within that system.
