High Voltage DC and Cap Charging Supplies1 |
A History Of Innovation and Leadership
TDK-Lambda Americas ALE High Voltage Products group has been designing and manufac-
turing quality High Voltage DC and Capacitor Charging Power Supplies since 1982 when ALE
Systems Inc., was conceived and formed to fill the need for a quality supplier of switched
mode power supplies for the laser market. In 1987, when ALE was acquired by Electronic
Measurements, Inc. (now TDK-Lambda Americas), the company was already the world leader
in its field.
Today our ALE Series High Voltage power supplies are used throughout the world in applications
including Homeland Security, Flat Panel Display Manufacturing, Semiconductor Processing, Micro
Machining, Dentistry, Eye Surgery, High Energy Physics, and Radiation Therapy.
The ALE branded product range is the broadest in the industry, covering low powers with our OEM
series from 500J/sec to 2kJ/sec at voltages to 40kV, medium powers with our rackmount series from
4kJ/sec to 12kJ/sec at voltages to 50kV, and high powers up to 36J/sec and above, at voltages to
50kV with our water-cooled 203, 303 and 363 models.
In addition to the standard products outlined in this brochure, our highly experienced design team
can offer a unique capability to design custom supplies to meet specific OEM applications. Please
contact the factory to discuss your detailed requirements.All ALE power supplies are proudly manu-
factured in the USA.

Applications
ALE series high voltage power supplies were originally designed to rapidly and efficiently
charge capacitors in laser and modulator circuits. Over our more than 25 year history, the
high voltage products have continuously evolved and today are used in an extensive range
of medical, industrial, military, research and semiconductor applications worldwide.
Pulsed Lasers - ALE series high voltage capacitor charging and DC supplies can be used in
almost all types of pulsed laser. For excimer lasers requiring very high pulse to pulse stability, our
patented parallel resonant inverter topology offers unsurpassed performance even at extreme rep-
etition rates. Water-cooled designs prevent excessive and undesirable heat load being exported to
the laser cabinet. The world’s first 6kHz repetition rate industrial F2
laser was powered by an ALE
designed power supply delivering better than ±0.05% pulse to pulse output voltage variation. In ad-
dition to Excimer light sources, our products have also been employed in the following lasers;
• Excimer • F2
• Nd:YAG • Ruby
• Er:YAG • TEA CO2
• Nd:Glass • Nitrogen
• Yb:YAG • Copper Vapor
• Alexandrite • EUV Gas Discharge Sources
Accelerators - often require high powers and excellent pulse to pulse stability. ALE high voltage
supplies have been widely used to replace traditional resonant charging and linear systems, where
they offer the advantages of improved pulse to pulse repeatability, power factor, and efficiency,
without the need for complex and costly D-Qing circuits, often in half the space of conventional
supplies. In addition to powering RF devices, ALE supplies are also used for powering tube grid
bias circuits, kicker magnet pulsers, RF Amplifiers, and Modulators. TDK-Lambda’s high
power, low voltage, high current products are perfect for solenoid and magnet power in accelerator
systems - see page 22 in this brochure for a product overview.
Microwave Tubes - Magnetrons, Klystrons, Gyrotrons, IOTs, and TWTs, all require stable DC or
pulsed DC beam power for operation. With our high power capability, and simple parallel opera-
tion, ALE supplies offer excellent solutions in low to high power RF applications. Our HV products
provide power for precision R&D heating systems from a few hundred watts, to military systems
delivering over 100kW of CW RF power. In addition to these highlighted sectors, ALE supplies are
also used to power the following devices/applications;
• Lithotripters • Xray Cargo Inspection Systems • Battery charging
• Xray radiation therapy • Laser Depainting • Energy research
• LIDAR • Lightning simulation • Pulsed Light Sources
• Ocean sub-bottom profiling • Electron-beam sterilization • Pulsed Stimulators
• RADAR systems • RF Amplifiers • NDT Systems
• Marx Generators • Pulsed Electron Deposition • Magnetic Forming

20. Turn-key High Voltage Power Solutions
ALE’s Compact Turn-key High Voltage Power Systems, build on over 20 years of successfully design-
ing and delivering multi-kilowatt DC power solutions to meet the demands of the most challenging
applications. Extensive use of standard building blocks allows maximum system design flexibility
and performance, while minimizing cost and delivery time.
Our modular and scalable design approach uses multiple standard power
modules to deliver raw high voltage DC power for the system.The outputs
of each power module are combined using a simple Junction box which
can also accommodate any necessary output filtering and voltage/current
feedback required. The complete system and individual power module
outputs are centrally controlled by a Master Controller.
The Master Controller generates all signals required by the power mod-
ules, and enables both local or remote user control of the system output
voltage and current. The use of a multi-phase variable frequency control
technique, results in low output voltage ripple without the need for large
output energy storage filter capacitors. The controller communicates with
each power module (or bank of power modules), and to the Junction Box
to provide system output voltage and current feedback, and operating sta-
tus.
Each power module comprises a single model 303S (or LC1202S for low-
er power) water-cooled power supply. The 303S is a proven 50kW rated
DC power supply which can be offered with any output voltage between 1kV and 50kV. The total number of
303S modules required in the system is determined by the overall power requirements, with one module for
every 50kW of power (one per 40kW with 400VAC input). Since the overall design is 100% scalable, there
is no theoretical limit to the number of 303S supplies that can be connected in parallel, and hence very high
power ultra compact systems can be built using standard modules.
A Junction Box is used to combine the high voltage outputs from the individual power modules, and also
serves to provide precision voltage and current feedback signals to the Master Controller. The Junction Box
can also be used to house any filter or output protection components required. Filters can be as simple as a
ripple reduction capacitor, or more complex multi-stage LC filter when ultra-low stored energy and ripple are
required.
The modular and scalable design approach described enables TDK-Lambda to offer Compact Turn-key pow-
er solutions with average output powers from as little as 30kW, to over 1MW using the same basic proven
building blocks. Call our High Voltage Product Manager, Andy Tydeman at +1-732-922-5408 to discuss your

22. Custom Solutions
If your application requirements cannot be met by a standard product offering, then the best ap-
proach could be to develop a modified standard version of an existing product, or a complete custom
design.The engineering staff in the ALE high voltage design team have unrivaled experience develop-
ing leading edge power solutions for a broad range of applications.
Modified standard products can encompass simple modifications of a standard design such as front panel
paint, AC input connector, high voltage cable, output voltage or power level.
Some examples of modified standard products are;
• 303L-15kV-NEG-DC with floating HV return for RF tube body current measurement
• 303L-15kV-POS-DC with dual output connectors for daisy chain HV parallel hookup
• 152A-15kV with output adapter for coaxial HV cable
• 402-OEM-40kV with nomex front panel
• LC1202L with Harting style AC input connector
• 202A Mounted in chassis with front panel and local controls
Custom products can be highly modified standard designs or a completely new design for novel or demand-
ing applications. Our custom product developments have been installed in the most challenging electrical
and environmental applications to enable our customers to deliver reliable and high performance world class
systems.
Some examples of custom products are;
• 303S for Naval environment designed for tilt/roll operation

23. High Power Parallel Operation
All ALE series capacitor charging and DC power supplies can simply be connected in parallel for
higher power operation. For parallel operation all supplies in a system must have the same output
voltage rating, but do not necessarily need to have the same power rating.There is no limit to the
number of supplies that can be connected in a parallel system, and overall pulse to pulse repeat-
ability performance will often be better compared with a single large supply with the same overall
power capability.
In deep discharge capacitor charging applications (load capacitance is fully discharged between each
pulse), the power supply HV output cables are simply connected together at the load, and the control sig-
nals shared between all the supplies. For systems requiring local control, at least one L model supply can
be operated with any number of S or OEM models. Control is achieved by connecting the slave interface
featured on the L model supply to the remote interface(s) on any S or OEM supplies. The front panel of the
L model supply will then give the user local control of the entire system. For systems requiring only remote
control, any number of S or OEM supplies can be ‘daisy chained’ together via their remote control inter-
faces. When operating parallel systems with supplies from different model series, the user should be sure to
check the interface connections for correct pin assignments.
In reservoir charge or pulsed DC applications (load capacitance is only discharged by a small percent-
age between each pulse) the power supply HV output cables can be simply connected together at the load,
however some care is required with the control technique to ensure equal power sharing among system sup-
plies. The most effective control method in this type of application is to use the first system supply reaching
the programmed charge voltage (end of charge or EOC) to shut off the other system supplies. This is simply
achieved by using the logical OR of the EOC signal from all supplies in the system (standard control feature
on all ALE models), and connecting it to the inhibit input (standard feature) of all supplies in a system. The
factory can supply a simple programming interface adapter that performs this function if required.
For continuous DC load applications such as providing beam power for Gyrotrons, Klystrons, Magnetrons,
or similar microwave devices, a parallel system combined with an ALE designed system controller can offer
the user full control of output current and voltage in addition to significantly improved load ripple and regula-
tion. More information is shown on pages 17 and 18 of this brochure.
ALE supplies have been operated in parallel systems at power levels from a few kilowatts (two model 202A
supplies), to over one megawatt (thirty model 303 supplies). A small sample of parallel systems operating
today are highlighted below:

6. Voltage Reversal Protection
Voltage reversal following load capacitor discharge can
potentially damage the power supply. Any reverse cur-
rent must be limited by a series resistor, or by a clamp
diode and resistors to prevent the possibility of damage
to the output diodes inside the supply.The degree of pro-
tection required is a function of reverse voltage, duration
of reversal, and repetition rate of reversal. If the reverse
current is greater than the rated current of the supply
then a protection diode should be used.
Refer to our online Application Note 517 for details, and
guidance in determining the protection component rat-
ings.
