P150

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The P150 is a general purpose linear amplifier with high voltage and high output current. Intended applications are piezoelectric positioning, electrostatic transducers and other high voltage instrumentation.

INPUT AMPLITUDE

The P150 amplifier has a fixed gain of x20 and operates on positive voltage polarity only. Its input resistance is 1 MΩ. The input amplitude should be within 0 and +7.5 V giving output voltage in the range 0 to+150V. Higher input voltage will be limited to -1…+12 V by the input protection circuit. This level is still safe for the amplifier but the output will
be clipped above the maximum available voltage. Above ca 300% overvoltage at the input a microfuse may be blown. In such a case there will be no signal at the output (see below). For your convenience one spare fuse is provided on the amplifier’s printed-circuit board inside the enclosure. It is advisable to contact service@pendulum-instruments.com for guidance.
