A high-voltage power supply is a system used to convert a low input voltage to a higher voltage output. Typical output voltages for high voltage power supplies are greater than 1000 V, or 1 kV, up to 150 kV (150000 V). In general, a high-voltage power supply refers to a device that outputs a DC (direct current) high voltage.

High Voltage DC Power Supply Applications
High voltage testing is required in a number of industries and scenarios, including:
- X-ray generation (like those used in hospitals)
- Insulation testing
- Capacitor charging
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
Choosing a High-Voltage Power Supply
Each of the following features can be classified into a different type of supply.
Output type
The type of polarity is key, so be sure to match the test requirements.
- Positive polarity output
- Negative polarity output
- Positive/negative switchable output
- Bipolar output
- Pulse output
Input power
Benchtop and rack mount supplies tend to be AC, while modules are usually DC input.
- DC input (DC-HVDC)
- AC input (AC-HVDC)
Control method
- Proportional (high output voltage proportional to input voltage)
- Analog control (manually setting the input voltage)
- Digital control (for long-distance control)
Installation method
- Printed circuit board (PCB) mount
- Chassis mount
- Benchtop
- Rack mount
Consider the requirements set forth by a test standard, the type of test being performed, or the DUT to determine which specifications are needed. For any questions, feel free to reach out to a rental expert at ATEC.
