Designed for seamless integration

The Charge Indicator is designed as a system-independent accessory compatible with all Scandiflash pulsed power systems from SCF150 to SCF1200. Its inline installation concept enables fast and straightforward integration into both new and existing installations without requiring modifications to current cables or system layouts.

The compact design minimizes impact on footprint, cable routing, and overall system configuration while maintaining full system functionality and performance.

Improved system status visibility

By making stored charge voltage clearly visible, the Charge Indicator improves situational awareness for energized components. The system supports continuous monitoring during operation and standby conditions and includes an integrated self-test button for routine verification.

An integrated bleeding function additionally helps decrease discharge time during fault or abnormal operating conditions for easier service and maintenance procedures.

 

Simple retrofit solution

The Charge Indicator can be installed between the crowbar and pulser on either the cabinet side or pulser side and may also be mounted directly onto the pulse generator tank as an optional configuration.

Its retrofit-friendly design makes the Charge Indicator a practical safety enhancement for laboratories and test facilities seeking improved charge visibility without redesigning existing pulsed power systems.
