{"product_id":"uvitron-hiwatt2-high-power-lamp-ballast","title":"Uvitron HiWatt 2 - High Power Lamp Ballast","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe HiWatt 2 UV programmable electronic arc lamp ballast is a dual-processor controlled, solid-state switching power supply. It consists of two power stages: a square wave AC output converter and igniter for powering a mercury vapor or halide arc lamp, and an auxiliary DC power supply for providing 24VDC (6A) for user controls and cooling fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HiWatt 2 ballasts are designed to be factory or customer software configurable (via PC serial port) to allow the unit to adapt to a wide range of lamp types and utility power sources. This capability allows the unit to power an arc lamp in the range of 1kW-20kW, with lamp voltages of 200-850V, from single or three-phase AC sources of 208 \/ 240 \/ 480V 60Hz-200 \/ 230 \/ 380 \/ 415V 50Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronic ballast may be used to power two arc lamps in a series as long as the total composite voltage does not exceed 850V. This programmability makes the HiWatt 2 a truly universal arc lamp ballast that can be used as a single unit solution for powering many types of lamps from power sources worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePC\/PLC Control Interface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HiWatt 2 can communicate with customer-connected controllers or PCs via optically isolated digital logic signals, RS485 serial port or USB port. The logic signals include status lines for lamp ignited, lamp ready (warm-up-complete) and unit alarm, as well as control signals for lamp enable \/ disable and lamp dimming (via PWM control, pulse frequency or 0-10V).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lamp cooling blower control is also provided with a blower on \/ off signal, air temperature \/ flow regulation and lamp temperature monitoring. The unit can optionally control motorized or pneumatic lamp shutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnits can also be networked to provide a customer interface to multiple HiWatt 2 slave units from the RS485 ports. This option will allow interface with multiple lamp systems cascaded on a single high-speed product line, which can still be controlled and monitored as a single system with much higher power capability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uvitron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109765075198,"sku":"UV2978","price":4647.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/4145\/files\/uvitron-hiwatt2-1.jpg?v=1734727614","url":"https:\/\/www.prolampsales.com\/products\/uvitron-hiwatt2-high-power-lamp-ballast","provider":"ProLampSales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
