Product Details
Kilovolt Power Supply
A stable and reliable source of very high potentials for electron tubes, electrostatics, the Millikan Oil Drop experiment, etc.
Description
Product Summary
This Kilovolt Power Supply is used for electron tubes and electrostatics.
The high voltage section is by design “floating” relative to ground. This means that either the black (negative) terminal or the red (positive) terminal may be connected to ground to give a voltage range of 0 to +6 kV, resp. 0 to -6 kV relative to ground.
In addition to the DC kilovolt output, a 6.3 VAC output is provided to power filaments in electron tubes.
The output is well regulated, and the current is limited for safety. The maximum short circuit current is 2 mA. The power supply output shuts off when the maximum current is exceeded and then it automatically resets.
Features
- 0-6 kVDC
- Short-circuit current of 2 mA for safety
- 6.3 VAC filament power source
Applications
- Charge conductive spheres for Coulomb’s Law experiment.
- Use the AC output to power heater filaments in electron tubes.
