5kV EHT Power Supply

The IPC Irwin 5kVDC Power Supply has been designed to provided EHT voltages for Spark Counters, Teltron Discharge Tubes, Electric Fields apparatus and for use in investigations into charge and current, and electrostatics. The Power Supply also includes a separate 6.3VAC, 2 Amp supply for heating filaments when experimenting with vacuum tubes.

DESCRIPTION.

The 5kV Power Supply provides a continuously variable DC voltage output from 100V to 5kVDC, the output voltage is indicated via a 2 digit, 14mm high, LED display. The EHT circuits are fully floating so that for certain applications the positive or negative terminal may be safely connected to earth. The EHT voltage outputs are taken from Red and Black 4mm shrouded sockets and provide a maximum current of 3mA, or 60uA when using the 50M ohm current limited outputs. A Blue 4mm centre tapped socket is provided to give both positive and negative voltages up to 2.5kVDC. The 6.3VAC, 2 Amps supply is provided via two White 4mm shrouded sockets, used for heating filaments, there is also a separate Green 4mm shrouded earthing terminal. The rear panel contains an illuminated (green) mains on/off switch and a mains input IEC socket containing an in-built protection fuse. Normally the unit is supplied with a separate UK plug to IEC plug 2.0m mains lead. The instrument itself is enclosed in a robust metal case with a durable powder coated finish.
