Medically approved power supply delivers high voltage
capacitor charging and multiple output low voltage AC-DC power from
a single unit
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global
leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion,
measurement and control solutions – today introduced the Excelsys™
FC1500, the industry’s first fully integrated capacitor charger and
multiple output power supply. The FC1500 delivers constant charge
power and eliminates the need for multiple power supplies in
medical laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy equipment.

Conventional laser and IPL systems rely on capacitors that are
charged to high voltages and then discharged to generate
high-current pulses. By delivering 1500 W constant power over all
charge voltages from 200 V to 1000 V, the FC1500 enables faster
charging of capacitors when used at lower voltages in mixed
technology systems. This helps reduce treatment times. Conventional
systems also require multiple power supplies to provide high
voltage inputs for capacitor charging and low voltage AC-DC
conversion for system electronics such as touch panels, pumps,
cooling elements and other treatments. A fully integrated capacitor
charging and AC-DC power supply, the FC1500 addresses these power
demands with a single unit.
“By combining a capacitor charger, AC-DC power and intelligent
control, the FC1500 offers new ways for medical OEMs to design
their laser and IPL systems,” said Conor Duffy, vice president of
marketing, medical power products at Advanced Energy. “This unique
solution provides many benefits including a 30% reduction in size,
reduced weight, improved reliability, lower EMI and simplified
safety certification and compliance. In addition, high levels of
configurability ensure optimum solutions for any given design.”
For capacitor charging, the FC1500 can operate with large
capacitance and low capacitance loads, and deliver up to 1500 W
constant power (1500J/sec) with programmable charge voltages from 0
to 1000 VDC. Pulse-to-pulse stability with a repeatability of
+/-0.2% is achieved through adaptive control of every pulse, while
a programmable power limit enables the system to maximize the
current drawn for the wall socket. A current sense signal enhances
reliability by allowing the stress on the system capacitors to be
accurately calculated.
For system power, the FC1500 offers a maximum power rating of
800 W and up to 10 isolated DC outputs. Field-configurable outputs
provide a ‘plug-and-play’ approach to address specific application
requirements. The option to connect outputs in series and parallel
allows designers to support higher voltages and currents.
The FC1500 incorporates intelligent analog and digital control
via the PMBus with ‘set and forget’ features and storage
capabilities that enable faster time-to-market for medical OEMs.
Compliant with IEC60601-1 (3rd edition) and IEC60601-1-2 (4th
edition), the internal fan-cooled power supply is rated for Level 4
input surge protection, safety approved to an altitude of 3000 m
and has an MTBF of over 900,000 hours.
