LEDs monitor Figure 1: overall view of a PS1215 power supply The PS1215 is an isolated bipolar power supply, with a 3-pole output connector, specifically designed to supply DC Current Transducers (DCCT). The AC Power Line input is placed on the left side of the box while the output connectors on the right side;...
PS1215 User’s Manual 1.3 Technical Data The PS1215 power supply has an output voltage accuracy of ±3% on both its positive and negative outputs. Maximum peak-to-peak voltage noise measured at the device output terminals is rated at 4 mV. This value is measured over a 1 MHz bandwidth using a LeCroy MSO 44MXs-B, 400MHz, 5GS/s with AC Coupling at full load.
PS1215 User’s Manual 2. Safety 2.1 Injury Precautions Prior to shipment this system was inspected and found free of mechanical or electrical defects. Upon unpacking of the system, inspect for any damage, which may have occurred in transit. The inspection should confirm that there is no exterior damage to the system such as broken connectors.
For input voltage and frequency rating of the module see . For safety reasons, the Table 4: PS1215 power supply main specifications mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed above voltage range. 2.4 Live Circuits No internal adjustment or component replacement is allowed to non-CAEN ELS s.r.l.
The AC Line Input connector is in a standard IEC Male Socket as shown in Figure 3 The PS1215 power supply is designed for universal AC input voltage range since it can operate with voltage from 90V to 260V and input frequency from 47 to 63 Hz.
(CT-xx00V). The other side is terminated with one connector that fits in the output DC connector of the PS1215 and one BNC connector for the reading of the output voltage that is fed from the DCCT Voltage Output. The SUB-D pin-...
