               20,000 watt power system                                    1500 watt power system

                          Series Helius HVT RF Products

The Helius HVT RF amplifier components & complete RF generators  are designed for use in high power - high VSWR applications. Their hybrid design includes a solid state driver and a  vacuum tube final amplifier. This topology provides robust and reliable power driving dynamic loads. Typical applications include driving CO² laser cutting and welding systems as well as very high power plasma processes such as sputtering and etching.

General Specifications

The Model HVT is built around the Helius microprocessor controlled RF exciter module. This multi featured controller enables both front panel and remote control via analog or serial ports.

A free standing electronics rack enclosure is used to enclose the system. All HVT models are built to order and can be configured to a customer's individual specifications. 

• AC Mains voltage & frequency

Models rated at 20kW and higher are manufactured in a two piece set; a remote RF power head connected to the main enclosure by a cable set up to 70 feet long. This enables the exciter/control cabinet to be placed away from the active plasma system.  

Diagnostic information is available on the Helius controller display panel. 

Helius HVT RF Component General Specifications

The Helius RF power amplifier is also available as a stand alone component set including the rack mount RF head and control / DC power supply module. The user can then drive this amplifier module with an existing low power oscillator/amplifier. Up to 50 watts of drive power is typically required.
