Capacitor charger line by OEM Tech

Capacitor chargers are one of OEM Tech's key focus areas.



Capacitor Charger: Powering Medical Devices and Other Equipment

Capacitor charger is an essential component in various applications in the medical, scientific and industrial sectors. This device is designed to provide rapid and reliable power, ensuring the smooth operation of equipment that demands high energy pulses.

Understanding Capacitor Chargers

Capacitor charger is a specialized power supply that charge capacitors to a specified voltage. It is crucial in applications requiring quick bursts of energy. The primary function of the charger is to convert AC power to a controlled DC output, which is then used to charge capacitors. The efficiency and reliability of the charger is paramount, especially in critical applications.

Key Features

  1. High Efficiency: Modern capacitor chargers are designed to be highly efficient, minimizing energy loss during the charging process. OEM Tech devices have more than 85% efficiency.
  2. Fast Charging Rates: These chargers can quickly charge capacitors, which is vital for applications requiring rapid energy pulses.
  3. Precise Control: Advanced control mechanisms ensure that the voltage is regulated accurately, protecting sensitive components from damage. Our devices have a number of protections, from open-circuit, short-circuit, overheating and from overvoltage.
  4. Voltage Overshoot Absence: To prevent damage to the capacitors and connected equipment, these chargers are designed to minimize voltage overshoot possibility, fast feedback circuits for our chargers provides it is less than 0.5% of the setpoint due to ripple.

Applications in Medical Devices

In the medical field, capacitor chargers are used in various devices, but OEM Tech specialises in Medical Laser applications: in surgeries and cosmetic treatments, medical lasers require precise and reliable power sources. OEM Tech offers a line of certified capacitor chargers with power ratings between 1-4 kW. The PCA-series medical grade chargers meet the latest versions of medical standards requirements: IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 (electrical safety) and IEC 60601-1-2:2014 (EMC). So, they are suitable for medical systems without any modifications, any additional filtration or additional means of protection. The most popular our product is 1 kW PCA-10.

Other possible applications include transcranial pulse machines for medical physiotherapy procedures, needle-free injection systems, UV pulsed room air sanitizers, muscle stimulation and massage apparatus.

Applications in Other Equipment

In other sectors, our industrial capacitor chargers are employed in:

  • Laser Systems: Industrial lasers used for cutting, welding, and engraving, various pulsed lasers for scientific tasks depend on capacitor chargers for consistent power delivery.
  • Pulsed Power Applications: These include applications like pulsed UV curing, sterilization, and photolithography, where precise energy pulses are critical.
