Author Topic: Strong xenon power supply question Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-04-2003 01:10 PM                     In my hunt for a lapmhouse setup, I've come across a Strong Xenon Power supply model # 6280106. Are there any known issues or reliability problems with this model? Here are the details from the faceplate : LINE: A.C.AMPS 20.2;A.C.VOLTS 200-240; HERTZ 50-60;PHASE 1-3; K.V.A. 3.5; LAMP: D.C.AMPS 50-100;D.C.VOLTS 20-30;TYPE 6280106;SERIAL # 1125; Thanks Danny  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-05-2003 10:06 AM                        Hello Dan, For me these power supply work great when they are used in single phase and neutral configuration. From more than 7 years I use 10 of them in two multiplexes without troubles. But the xenon lamp we use with theses power supply is in a range from 1 kw up 2.5 kw. no more. By the past in the biggest auditorium we had a 7 kW xenon with a another Strong power supply running three phase circuit. Wat's happend ? At the moment the projectionist switched off the light of the auditorium, the power supply blowed up ! From this time we used a classical Irem rectifier an recently we replace them by a brand new electronical rectifier, in a single phase configuration. Conclusion: these power supply from Srong working fine but only in a single phase configuration an a output power up to 2,5 kW. On advice I believe that Strong made a new rectifier more compact and less expensive, but in don't remember the model number. Ask your local dealer. Good luck, and sorry for my really bad English  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-05-2003 11:47 AM                     Had little grief in both 3 phase and single phase if they are kept cool,well grounded , and stable power supplied to them. And when they die they are light enough to pickup and ship back to strong cheaply and litterly plug in another  |  IP: Logged
