PCA-40 Capacitor Charging Power Supply

PCA-40 is a medical capacitor charging module of the high power rating. Basic parameters are as follows:

  • Dual input – 230 VAC
  • Partial and complete discharge modifications Output power up to 4,000 W
  • Output voltage up to 4,000 V
  • Cooling – forced air (embedded fan) IEC 60601-1 ed.3 compliance
  • Dual 110 VAC and 230 VAC input Full medical compliance
  • Parallel operation Low cost

Description

PCA-40 capacitor charging power supply is developed for the use in pumping systems of flashlamp-pumped solid-state laser devices.

The maximal output power of the power supply is 4000 W, so it is the best for use in laser systems of high power like Long Pulse Nd:YAG, Long Pulse Alexandrite (dual flashlamps), 60W CTH:YAG (dual-head). In all other respects, PCA-40 is a part of PCA series of CCPS.

Like PCA-10 and PCA-20, PCA-40 is a medical capacitor charging power suitable for use in medical laser equipment. All the device parameters meet the latest versions of medical standards requirements: IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety, IEC 61000-3-2 for active power factor correction (PFC) and EN 55011 / CISPR 11 Class A safety requirements for EMI and leakage current.

As such, the power supply can be used in different kinds of medical devices without any additional filtration or additional means of protection.
