Spellman High Voltage Announces Introduction of New UM Series
(Product News, 09 Oct 2008 )
Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation announces the extension of its modular product line with the introduction of the UM Series. These printed circuit board mountable, high voltage modules offer easy form, fit and functional replacement for units presently available on the market. Utilizing proprietary power conversion technology and high voltage packaging techniques, and aided by Spellman’s advanced encapsulation techniques, the SMT-based UM series provides additional features compared to competitive models, at reduced cost.
The UM Series spans the output voltage range of 62 volts to 6kV in three power offerings of 4, 20 and 30 watts. An optional enhanced interface provides current programming capability and positive polarity, buffered, low output impedance voltage and current monitor signals. A second voltage programming input is also provided for negative polarity units eliminating the programming inversion on the standard interface. Current programming allows the user to set the unit’s current limit, anywhere from 0 to 103% of maximum rated current. The UM can be used with confidence in demanding applications as these robust modules are fully arc and short circuit protected.
