CE200AHX, CE200BHX, and CE200CHX

Mercury-Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CE200 power supply is designed to run mercury-xenon arc lamps in a constant-current mode. The output current is adjustable from 7.0 to 9.0 Amps via a potentiometer on the circuit board. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The CE200BHX is the same as the A-model except it does not have Y-capacitors in the line filter section. The CE200CHX has smaller Y-capacitors to meet the 100 µA leakage requirement of many U.S. hospitals. The unit includes over-power protection that protects the lamp if the lamp voltage becomes too high.

Output power: 175- 220 Watts, constant current
Output voltage compliance: 12.0 to 28.0 V operating, >110 VDC during ignition.
Output regulation: output current held to within +/- 5% over all input, output, and environmental condition.
