| CARRERA |
|
The
Carrera series of power supplies uses primary switched mode technology
to offer high efficiency and fast arc detection and recovery in a compact
unit. Based on a modular design, the Carrera can be configured for maximum
outputs ranging from 3kW to 15kW.

Modular
Design
Through the introduction of additional 5 kW units, the output power of
the standard Carrera 5 can be extended up to 15 kW. This enables, for
the first time, higher power applications to benefit from primary switched
technology. A load share arrangement ensures that the power output is
equally sourced where more than one 5kW unit is installed.

ARC
Management
Through a combination of an intelligent arc recognition system and the
high switching frequency of the power unit, it is ensured that should
any arcs occur they are extinguished extremely quickly. This minimizes
the additional energy that would otherwise continue to feed into the arc.
Full power is returned within 3 ms to allow the evaporation process to
continue. With the aid of a user-set limit for the acceptable arc rate,
process integrity can be maintained for processes such as ion assisted
deposition.
