CE160AXE, CE160BXE, and CE160CXE

Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CE160 power supply is designed to run xenon arc lamps in a constant-power mode. The supply is designed to run the Osram XBO and Cermax family lamps. The output power has two levels: 130W and 220W. The unit is normally at 130W until the High Power remote input is asserted true. The unit then outputs 220W. This is useful for pulsed power applications. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The CE160BXE is the same as the A-model except it does not have Y-capacitors in the line filter section. The CE160CXE has smaller Y-capacitors to meet the 100 µA leakage requirement of many U.S. hospitals.

Output power: 124 - 136 Watts, or 195 - 245 Watts, constant power
Output voltage compliance: 12.0 to 17.0 V operating, >110 VDC during ignition.
Output regulation: output power held to within +/- 5% over all input, output, and environmental conditions.
