GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RFG 5500 is a 13.56 MHz RF generator designed to regulate its output power based on
forward power. The RFG 5500 provides up to 5000 W into a 50 Ω, non-reactive load. The
RFG 5500 includes a clamp circuit to guarantee that the RF output is less than 1 W if the
requested setpoint is zero.
The unit is controlled through a 15-pin analog/digital user port. There is no operator control
panel provided on this unit. A numeric display and eight status LEDs are visible from the front
of the unit for monitoring the generator functions.
The RFG 5500 is designed for 19" rack mounting with a panel height of 7". AC power for the
RFG 5500 is supplied from a 4-wire, 3
neutral connection is required. The unit is water cooled with no provisions or requirements for
forced air cooling.
The RFG 5500 provides a system interlock connection through its 15-pin User port interface.
A contact resistance of 1.2 KΩ or less between the interlock pin (11) and chassis ground
enables the unit.
The RFG 5500 protects itself from damage under the following conditions:
• Any internal overcurrent condition not directly related to the output load condition as
protected by current limiting or fuse.
• Excessive internal temperature (may be caused by lack of proper cooling water flow,
excessive ambient operating temperature, or other causes).
• Any combination of input AC line phase drop out.
• Input line brown out (under voltage) or over voltage.
