The Korad K15 power supply is designed for use with the K15, KWD and KHD series lasers. The function of this supply is to charge the storage capacitor bank to a selected voltage at a fast rate. For a complete description of the K15 supply and controls, see the “K15 Power Supply Instruction Manual”.

The purpose of this procedure is not to describe the K15 supply, but instead, provide an easy and safe method of testing and calibrating the supply. For this purpose, a special test fixture has been provided to test the supply.

  • Before plugging in the 240 volt line plug, turn the power switch (on the supply) on.
  • Place an ohmmeter across the 240 volt line (across the switch terminals is convenient) and read approximately 12 ohms.
  • Place and ohmmeter from onee switch terminal to ground and read greater than 2 megahoms.
  • Repeat Step C for the other switch terminal.
  • Turn supply power switch off.
  • Plug 240 volt line connector into outlet.
