 Engineering Capabilities

• Over 150 technical specialists in the US, Europe & Asia conducting
research, design and development of applied HV power supply
technology

• Dedicated Digital Engineering group

• Unmatched expertise in high voltage packaging and insulating

systems, utilizing propriety encapsulation techniques and
processes

• Safety and Regulatory Agency approvals like UL, CSA, and IEC, can
be provided.
• UL Client Test Data Site: US and UK

 Digital Control and Interface Designs

Control and interface circuitry benefit from our extensive digital and
software design capability.

We design with the latest technologies including digital signal processors

(DSP), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and fiber optics.

SMART generators actively monitor and log performance, predict

maintenance.

Standard and custom communications interfaces include:

• RS232, RS485
• Universal Serial Bus (USB)
• Ethernet (TCP/IP)
• CANbus/DeviceNet
 Encapsulation Technology

Spellman has unique expertise in high voltage packaging and insulating

systems, having developed numerous proprietary encapsulation
techniques and processes. We work with solid, liquid, gas and hybrid
insulation technologies, including:
• Air
• Silicone Encapsulants Vacuum Encapsulation Chamber
• Epoxy Encapsulants
• Dielectric Oil
• Insulating Gases – SF6

These capabilities provide unmatched flexibility for unique custom

designs, most noted in our Monoblock ® series of x-ray sources.
 Compliance and Safety

Safety and Regulatory Agency approvals like UL, CSA, and IEC, can be
provided.

UL’s Client Test Data program
