Abstract

The RHIC Yellow ring Fast Injection Kicker Power Supply System was successfully commissioned in January 1997 as part of the Sextant Test. Construction of an identical system for the Blue ring has been completed and will be commissioned during the 1999 RHIC start-up. Each of these Injection Kicker systems consists of four subsystems and a control system center. The four subsystems are located on a floating high voltage deck inside a protective caged room because of the unusual grounding of the structure. The kicker power supplies and auxiliary equipment jump to potentials as high as 10 kV during each pulse and must be inaccessible during operation. The RHIC Injection Kicker Power Supply System Control, Integration and Commissioning results are presented in this paper
