Page 12
Capacitor Charging Technology Capacitor charging applications require a power supply designed specifically for the task. The 802 series supplies allow capacitors to be charged in pulse forming networks and modulators in a very fast, efficient and controllable manner. The units are compact high power constant current sources that can linearly and rapidly charge a capacitive load to high voltage.
Page 13
1.5. Continuous DC Operation Although the 802 series has been designed for capacitor charging applications, they can also be used as a continuous DC High Power Source for RF tubes such as klystrons, TWTs, or other DC loads such as DC-DC converters. The DC option must be specified when ordering, and the supply will be factory setup and tested with a continuous DC load.
1.7.12. No user maintenance is required. 1.8. Model Number Format The model numbering system for the 802 Series power supply includes symbols for features and options. They are separated by dashes. Examples are: 802L-10kV-POS-400VAC and 802S-20kV-POS-DC. The 802 is available with three front panel configurations, the L, S, and OEM. The choice of panel configuration is dependent upon the installation and system requirements.

As soon as the unit is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Verify the following: a) Check the operation of the front panel control (knob should rotate smoothly).
Page 18
Normally, the customer may NOT open any chassis covers that have a warranty seal. Breaking a seal will void the warranty. At the discretion of TDK-Lambda Americas, the customer may be granted permission to break the warranty seal and open the chassis covers. Customer Service shall confirm the permission by sending a replacement seal.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1. 19-Inch Rack Mounting This power supply is intended for mounting in a conventional 19-inch equipment rack. It’s 8.75 inch height makes it a “5U” size instrument. The rack should enclose the sides, top and back to protect the operator from electrical shock and protect the supply from environmental contamination.
Page 21
AC input terminals is 460VAC. If this voltage is exceeded, catastrophic damage will result, that is not covered by TDK-Lambda Americas standard warranty. The customer’s AC power line connects to the 802 via a UL/CSA approved 5 position terminal block on the rear panel of the unit (see Figure 1).
Connect the three lines of the input power to the L1, L2, L3 terminals and the earth ground to the terminal marked with the ground symbol ( ). No neutral connection is required for the 200-240VAC configuration. For models with the 380-440VAC input configuration (340- 460VAC) the neutral wire must be connected to terminal marked N.
Before connecting the HV output cable, inspect the cable and check for signs of damage. Always use the HV connector and cable provided with the power supply or an equivalent substitute provided by TDK-Lambda Americas. Fully insert the connector end of the HV cable and tighten the locking nut only "hand tight".
Page 24
Refer to Application Note 517 (available from the factory or at http://www.us.tdk-lambda.com/hp/product_html/high_volt.htm) for more detailed information. Dress the high voltage cable to create a gentle curve ensuring there are no sharp bends as this will tend to reduce the cable's insulation strength.
5. CONTROLS, INDICATORS, CONNECTORS 5.1. Front Panel Layout (L Model) The 802L series power supply is equipped with a fully instrumented front panel featuring output voltage control, voltage and current metering, and comprehensive status LEDs, along with local/remote mode keyswitch, and power on switch. The 802L can be operated locally from the front panel or remotely via the control connector located on the rear panel (see Section 6.2).
5.2. HV ON Push Button (Ref 1) DO NOT DEPRESS THE HV ON PUSH-BUTTON UNLESS A SUITABLE CAPACITIVE LOAD IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY'S OUTPUT CABLE, AND THE LOAD IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED. The HV ON push button is a momentary switch that when depressed turns on HV output in local mode (keyswitch in local position) only if there are no faults present within the supply.
5.3.7. Overtemp LED The overtemp LED indicates an inverter overtemperature condition internal to the supply. The temp fault will clear once the temperature is below the fault threshold, but the unit will not restart without a reset cycle. Overtemp LED is active in local and remote modes.
5.11. Current Display (Ref 10) The Current Display is a 4 digit LED indicator showing the average current delivered by the power supply output. Current display is active in local and remote modes. 5.12. Power switch (Ref 11) The power switch connects AC input power to the control circuitry and causes the internal AC contactor to close if the interlock loop is closed.
5.15. Rear Panel Layout (L Models) All of the interconnect and HV connections for the 802L are located on the power supply rear panel. Figure 8 shows the rear panel layout and location of the various connectors. Figure 8 802L Rear Panel Connections DESCRIPTION NOTE SECTION...
Table 5 802L Rear panel Functions The function of each item in Table 5 is described in the following sections. 5.15.1. HV Output Connector (Ref 1) Connector socket for mating HV cable supplied with unit. The connector should be kept clean and free from debris at all times. If supply is operated at 20kV or 200Hz rep rate or above the cable should be greased to ensure corona free operation.
5.15.9. AC Input Terminal (Ref 9) Main AC input power terminal block see section 4.4 for further details. For 200- 240VAC connect three phases and ground. For 380-440VAC option connect three phases, Neutral and Ground. AC input is not phase rotation sensitive. 5.16.
5.17. Rear Panel Layout (OEM Models) The 802OEM rear panel is similar to the 802S except there is no interlock terminal, unless the CT option is installed. If a number of units are to be connected in parallel, a daisy chain type ribbon cable should be used to connect the supplies together.
5.18. REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTOR PIN DIAGRAM Figure 11 shows a summary of the remote control signals on the connector labeled 4 in Figure 5 through 8. The connector is a 25-pin sub D-type receptacle (female). Pin 1. Analog Out Pin 14. +15V Pin 3.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The 802 power supply is designed for operation in two modes. The first mode is local, where the power supply can be controlled from the front panel. Local operation is only possible with the L model supply. The second mode is remote, where control signals are passed via the 25pin remote connector.
circuitry will interrupt the power supply's operation causing it to turn OFF. For a full explanation of each control and indicator refer to Section 5. 6.2. Remote Operation (All models) All 802 models are easily controlled through the 25 pin sub D-type remote interface connector located on the rear panel.
Table 6 802 Remote Interface Description Note 1 – For 802L or 802S models, the front panel LEDs are driven by open collector drivers that are common to the remote control interface indicator signals. A pullup resistor is not required to sense the remote interface voltage on these signals. The user should expect the Active logic level (low) to be between 2 and 4V.
Page 38
A detailed description of each remote control signal is given in the following sub-sections. 6.2.1. Analog Out Pin 1. Analog of output voltage waveform as measured at the output terminals of the power supply. Signal is 0-10V +/-1% (0-5V if 5V option installed). 6.2.2.
6.2.13. Load Fault LED Pin 18. Open collector Active Low output indicating a load fault condition. Load fault is a non-latching fault and will self-reset after approximately 500ms (for models without LP option). Load fault is caused by an output overvoltage condition (110% of rated voltage) or an output short circuit/large capacitor (load charges for 500ms without reaching programmed voltage).
6.4. Parallel Operation The 802 series capacitor charging power supplies are constant current sources, and can simply be connected in parallel for applications requiring increased power. Parallel supplies should have the same output voltage rating and programming options (if one unit has the 5V option, all others in parallel must have this option).
To operate more than one unit in parallel all that is required is a parallel control cable, and to connect the HV output cables together at the load. The output currents from the parallel supplies simply add together to increase the overall system current. Any model 802 supply, or any combination of units can be operated in parallel.
6.4.2. Parallel system comprising both 802L and 802S or OEM supplies For a system comprising both 802L and S/OEM units, a single L model should be operated as a master in either local or remote mode. The other parallel supplies can be connected to the SLAVE 25-pin D-sub connector on the master unit rear panel (refer to Figure 15).
6.4.3. Parallel system comprising 802S/OEM supplies A system comprising only model 802S/OEM supplies must be operated from an external control system. The control system should be connected using a pin-to-pin ribbon or other cable that is ‘daisy chained’ to the REMOTE connector on each of the 802S/OEM supplies in the system.
7. APPLICATION NOTES The 802 series power supplies are high voltage power sources and great care should be taken when connecting and operating these units. In order to aid installation and system design, a number of application notes have been produced to support the design engineer with certain load circuit component rating and selection.
