Power supply must be capable of being upgraded to operate three electron beam sources simultaneously. Voltage must be regulated by a tetrode tube resulting in a constant voltage output. Two output ranges are desired, 3-7 kV and 6-10 kV. Each output range must operate up to 1.5 amps. Output voltage and emission current must be regulated to 1%. Output voltage and emission current must be displayed. Manufacturer: Temescal, Model Number: 0611-7330-1 (OR EQUAL) Item 2, Electron-Beam Transformer, 1 Each Electron-Beam transformer kit with a high voltage cable that connects the transformer's primary to the power supply's gun interface chassis and the hardware to mount the transformer to the power supply module. Length of cable must be at least 20 feet. Manufacturer: Temescal, Model Number: 0040-7520-0 (OR EQUAL) Item 3, Variable Wave Form Sweep Controller, 1 Each Variable wave form sweep controller which utilizes a fully symmetrical coil current output, -4 to +4 amps. 0 to 99 Hertz sweep frequency. All sweep patterns are defined by pixels. Variable patterns are generated by user identified pixel location and dwell time. Memory shall hold up to 99 sweep programs. Must be able to step through programs manually. Manufacturer: Temescal, Model Number: 0040-9840-0 (OR EQUAL) Item 4, Turret Electron Beam Gun, 1 Each Turret electron beam gun with easily removed crucible cover and crucible.
