R600

BALLAST

The architecture of this model is based on a three-stage design and can drive lamps up to 18,0 kW with a maximum operating voltage of 2000 V

This ballast has been designed to operate in environments subject to high temperatures and voltage instability. It features robust components that ensure operational efficiency; even under critical conditions, our ballast guarantees flawless and consistent performance.

The cooling of this ballast is ensured by two internal 24 VDC fans, resulting in an auxiliary power consumption of 4,5 A. The cooling fans are positioned at the rear of the unit, and the airflow passes through the ballast along its longitudinal axis, effectively reducing the temperature in the hot zones of the machine body.
Additionally, during the ordering phase, the airflow direction can be selected in either the FORWARD (F) version where the air is blown into the machine body or the BACKWARD (B) version where the air is drawn from the machine body. This allows the ballast to be installed correctly within the cabinet.

The new SERIES R differs from the previous SERIES H in that the group of fans is positioned on the rear side of the machine and consists of a battery of 24 Vdc fans powered by an internal source. The airflow passes through the ballast along its longitudinal axis and the direction of the airflow can be chosen between the following versions available when ordering: : Version F, that is FORWARD, with the fans pushing air into the machine. Version B, that is BACKWARD, with the fans pulling air out of the machine.

SOFTWARE OWNED BY HPE S.r.l CON SOCIO UNICO
Our internally developed software is constantly being developed in order to meet our customers’ specific requirements. This approach leads to higher levels of performance, as the physical and operating parameters of the lamps can be monitored and any failure or malfunctions are reported.

SINGLE-OUTPUT SYSTEM
The function of driving both arc lamps and LED lamps by means of the same power supply unit has now been further enhanced: we have further simplified this solution by combining the two connection in a single-output system. This not only leads to time-saving but also makes operations during the exchange-phase of the two units to be powered easier.

EFFICIENT FANS
The new strategic positioning of the cooling fans, located in the lower part of the power supply unit, makes it possible for the air cooling system to be more linear and direct and, as a consequence, more efficient. This results in an ultra high degree of reliability of our products.

HIGH-GRADE MATERIALS
Our products are made of high-grade materials, thus ensuring high standard of quality in the assembly process, which is quite hard to beat. The ongoing research into new materials and solutions helps us to continuously improve the quality of our products in terms of efficiency and reliability.

PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

SMART COOLING SYSTEM

The new strategic positioning of the cooling fans, located in the lower part of the power supply unit, makes it possible for the air cooling system to be more linear and direct and, as a consequence, more efficient. This results in an ultra high degree of reliability of our products.

Air flow direction:

F = FORWARD standard version: that is with the fans pushing air into the machine.
B = BACKWARD on demand version: that is with the fans pulling air out of the machine.

SOPHISTICATED SOFTWARE

A SOFTWARE DEVELOPED WITH FULL ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL

The static converter software is fully designed and developed by the R&D department of High Power Equipment and it is the result of long experience and qualified commitment in this sector.
