Spellman Power Supply Repair

[ritaismyconscience]

Well, I am back on this forum again after several years...

Anyways, I found the guts of this Spellman high voltage power supply in the garbage, and it seems like everything should work. All the power components test fine with a multimeter. The only problem is that the front panel (with all the controls) is missing and someone took all the screws holding the power components together.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it working again? There seems to be some interface on the back for connecting to a computer. I might have to just bite the bullet and design my own controller. From looking at their manuals it seems like something similar to an SLR inverter is used.

I have an older Spellman 10kV power supply and the front controls seems to be very similar up the modern units. 10x dial potentiometer, push buttons and status lamps.

The DF series is targeted for x-ray use and seems to have digital displays for the voltage and current of the high voltage and filament supply.

Your 60 kV / 80 mA rating is much more powerful than the ones seens in their catalogue of only 10-20 mA at 60 kV.
