CE184AXE, CE184BXE, and CE184CXE

Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CE184 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 10.0 to 15.0 Amps via a potentiometer on the circuit board. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The CE184BXE is the same as the A-model except it does not have Y-capacitors in the line filter section. The CE184CXE has smaller Y-capacitors to meet the 100 ~uA leakage requirement of many U.S. hospitals.

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.
