Power Amplifier HV-PA500-1

High-Voltage Power Amplifier for Driving Piezoelectric Actuators

Jump to: Technical Data Download Additional Information

This device contains one fast high-voltage power amplifier.

The amplifier is able to provide an output power of about 500 VA to loads with a significant capacitance. The output voltage is bipolar and ranges from 0 to ±250 V. The output current can continuously reach values of up to 1 A.

Optional monitor outputs allow for controlling the output signal. Phase-accurate voltage or current scanning is available.

The amplifier and its power supplies are linearly operating circuits. The emission level of electromagnetic radiation is therefore very low.
