XLB-2500 Short Arc Xenon Lamp Ballast
The XLB-2500 Xenon lamp ballast is a very compact power supply designed for
OEM applications. The XLB-2500 is ideal for high power applications where
economy is important and performance cannot be compromised. Compact size is
possible due to a low-loss Zero Voltage Switching inverter and incorporation of
planar magnetics. Power factor is greater than 0.99 and conducted emissions
meet stringent European regulations. No additional line filter is required to meet
EN 55011 emission requirements. Lumina Power's XLB series sets the standard
for reliable lamp ignition and long term high power operation in a low cost,
compact package. The XLB-2500 is ideal for medical, projection and industrial
applications where a stable light source is essential.
As a Xenon lamp ballast, the XLB-2500 power supply first ignites the lamp with a
high voltage pulse and, once the lamp is ignited, acts as a programmable current
source delivering constant current based on the input program signal,
Iprogram(+), which is normally 0-10V. The XLB-2500 can be configured for
output current up to 102A. Maximum output voltage is 35V. Typical lamp
voltages are between 20V and 30V.
The XLB-2500 utilizes a proprietary low loss, high frequency power factor
correction circuit which keeps power factor above 0.98. Power factor corrected
power supplies use up to 30% less input current and meet stringent IEC
harmonic requirements. The output inverter is a state-of-the-art zero voltage
switching (ZVS) inverter which permits very high frequency power conversion
with minimum losses and electromagnetic noise.
