300W Mercury-Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CEP300 power supply is designed to run mercury-xenon arc lamps in a constant-power mode. The output power is adjustable from 180 to 315 Watts with a built-in potentiometer. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The supply includes an isolated +12V output for powering external fans or electronics. The CEP300 power supply is designed to switch to constant current mode by removing two easily accessible shorting jumpers. Active Power Factor Correction to meet EMC limits for harmonic current emissions, and limitations of voltage fluctuations and flicker.

Output power: 180 - 315 Watts, constant power
Output voltage compliance: 12.0 to 30.0 V operating, >110 VDC during ignition.
Output regulation: output power held to within +/- 5% over all input, output, and environmental conditions.
