Description / Appearance HVPS-300 is a specialized HV power supply with bipolar output. This means the output connector has three pins – Ground, HV positive and HV negative. Potentials of HV positive and HV negative are always equidistant from the Ground potential. In other words, 4kV output voltage is produced by generation of +2kV at HV positive pin and -2kV at HV negative pin.

24VDC (AMASS XT30PW-M): PIN (color) DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION 24V voltage from an external low voltage power source to be supplied to these pins to power up the HVPS-300 + (red) +24V Current consumption is up to 20A at full output power - (black)

Enable Jumper 1 (black) In this case, high voltage will appear at (GND) the power supply output once HVPS-300 is powered Pin 2 or 4 should be pulled to the ground to enable the output. Output is disabled while TTL high level is applied to pin 2 (4) or pin...

Thus, we do not recommend using power supply in stand- alone regime, do this on your risk only. HVPS-300 might be used in stand-alone regime. In this case, Enable jumper should be used instead of Enable signal, HV Program jumper along with HV Program trimming potentiometer should be used instead of HV Program signal.
Power supply to be mounted with 4pcs M4 screws (M4x10 or shorter). Grounding policy By default all grounds of HVPS-300 (HV Output Ground, 24VDC RETURN and Interface Returns) are interconnected inside the power supply. However neither of them is connected to the chassis.

Operations 1 Ensure 24V DC power supply is off 2 Connect HVPS-300 to the load and to 24V DC power supply. Do not apply 24V DC power until the setup is completely assembled 3 Disable HVPS-300 (pin 2 of Interface)

Please keep this in mind! • Output power depends on the operating voltage. Rated output power is achieved in ~75-100% of V region only. At lower output voltages output power decreases linearly with the voltage. Typical power curve of HVPS-300-2kV...
Since power curve depends on output voltage (see also Technical notes section), there are a few modifications different with output voltage. Modification Description HVPS-300-2kV Maximal output voltage – 2kV Maximal output power – over 300W @ 2kV and decreases steadily with output voltage Output capacitance –...
