CE180AXE and CE180BXE

Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CE180 power supply is designed to run xenon arc lamps in a constant-current mode. The supply is designed to operate 175-watt xenon arc-lamps. The output current is adjustable from 10 to 15 Amps via a potentiometer on the circuit board. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The CE180BXE is the same as the A-model except it does not have Y-capacitors in the line filter section.

Output power: 110 - 224 Watts, constant current
Output voltage compliance: 11.0 to 17.0 V operating, >110 VDC during ignition.
Output regulation: output current held to within +/- 5% over all input, output, and environmental conditions.
