ADJUSTABLE POSITIVE PULSES FOR ENHANCED COATING PROPERTIES

The PLASMATEC Ap, the unipolar pulsed DC power supply is a switch-mode power supply for particularly demanding arc-sensitive processes. Like the other PLASMATEC devices it is a true current source using CFC-technology. The PLASMATEC Ap alternatively provides a DC or an unipolar pulsed DC current / voltage at an output frequency of 76 kHz. Only the PLASMATEC Ap has an optional and fully active adjustable reverse pulse mode with arc detection. The power supply is available with 6 and 12 kW. In parallel mode the 12 kW unit can increase the power up to 24 kW. The digital regulated input of current, voltage and power makes it very precise.

 

Like other PLASMATEC power supplies the PLASMATEC Ap has high power density, extremely low stored output energy and a sophisticated, flexible, adjustable arc management. Its great robustness makes it ideal for industrial applications or research.
