Directed Energy News: BBB Accredited | PVX-4000-2kV | What’s a voltage pulser?

Directed Energy has been delivering high voltage pulsers and current sources for over 30 years!

We’re proud to be backing up that history of service with accreditation by the Better Business Bureau.

Pulsers with maximum output voltages between 850 V to 10 000 V are used for accelerated life testing of dielectric materials; for driving extraction grids and deflection plates in time-of-flight mass spectrometers; and for driving Pockels cells, Q switches, microchannel plates, acoustic transducers, image intensifiers, and photomultiplier tubes. Loads are generally connected to pulsers via several feet of coaxial cable.

Checking in on the PVX-4000-2kV

The PVX-4000-2kV is an air-cooled, high voltage bipolar pulse generator. Optimized for driving high impedance capacitive loads at up to ±2000 V, the PVX-4000-2kV is well-suited for driving extraction grids and deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators.

Features

• 0 to ±2000 V Pulse Output
• <50 ns Rise And Fall Times
• Pulse widths from <500 ns to DC
• Internal Trigger
• 40 Hz to 30 kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency
• 2% to 98% Duty Cycle
• External Trigger
• Single Shot to 100 kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency
• 0% to 100% Duty Cycle
• Protected Against Arcs, Shorts And Load Transients
• Voltage Monitor and Sync Outputs

Applications

Optimized for high impedance capacitive loads, the PVX-4000-2kV is well-suited for driving extraction grids and deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators.

Its robust and versatile design also makes it well suited for pulsing or gating power tube grids, Pockels cells and Q Switches, acoustic transducers, microchannel plates, photomultiplier tubes and image intensifiers.
