MST SERIES 061813 1-1
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the MST
series of 200 Watt, voltage and current stabilized d-c power supplies (power modules) manufac-
tured by Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York, U.S.A.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The Kepco MST 200 Watt Series (Figure 1-1) consists of eight, single-output models as shown
in Table 1-1. MST Series Power Modules employ a switch mode preregulator for high efficiency
and power density, with linear output stabilization for accuracy and resolution. MST Power Sup-
plies (Modules) are of a modular, plug-in design whose 7" x 1-3/4” cross-section allows nine
independently controlled modules to be mounted abreast in a standard (19" x 7" x 20.9") Kepco
Model RA 55 rack adapter or 5 modules in a standard (9.6” x 7” x 20.9”) Kepco Model CA 400
case.
The MST Power Module is controlled digitally via the IEEE 1118 2-wire serial bus (“Bitbus”) with
12 bits of resolution over the entire voltage and current ranges. Voltage and current are dis-
played on LED panel meters, and read back over the control bus with an accuracy of 0.06%.
Operating status is displayed on front panel LED indicators and read back over the bus.
An MST Power Module can be installed without powering down the system. Employing cur-
rent-sharing for parallel operation, they may be “hot-swapped” for redundant (N+1) applications.
MST Power Supplies can be operated with universal a-c input power sources (90-264Vac,
47-63Hz) and incorporate power factor correction (0.98) to meet EN 61000-3-2. MST Power
Modules can also be configured in series for higher than rated output voltages (500V d-c maxi-
mum).
