PSU and Reci compatability advice

I have a 100w reci laser with a JYJG 80w PSU(came with the machine when I bought it). I think PSU is fried now and I have to replace it. I know it was undersized but I rarely used the laser anywhere near full power which I presume is why it lasted 4 years.

 

On the machine I mostly engrave wood and cut sandpaper so my 100w reci is oversized. I only really need the Reci W1 75watt. My current 100w reci is 4 years old so i presume its near the end of its life so when it is, I will downsize to the 75watt W1 reci.

 

Id like to get a decent PSU to replace the cheap chinese crap i have now. Im looking at Cloudray as they seem a trustworthy site from China. Im in EU. W&Z&Es Series – Cloudray Laser

 

Am I right in thinking the Cloudray 80-100W HY-Z would be compatablie for both the W1 75w reci and the W2 100w? This would be ideal as then I wont need to buy different power supply when my existing tube dies and I downgrade to the 75w. Or am I better getting the 100-120watt PSU? Any advice as to what is best to do?

      Check the output voltages. The PSU must always be stronger than the tube, doesn’t matter if you don’t run it at partial power. Using the 80W supply on a 100W tube means you most likely cooked the flyback transformers. Some 80W PSU’s will handle a good quality 90W tube, but barely. The 100W was out of it’s range.
