Abstract :
The booster magnet power system operates 48 magnet modules for equilibrium orbit field control. The power system consists of four high current power supplies having a common thyristor firing control chassis. The power supplies were manufactured by Brentford Electric Ltd. The mangent energizing current waveform is I(t) = Idc - Iaccos2¿ft where f is the 15 Hz series resonant frequency of the high Q circuit. The dc and ac components are generated with one power source, not two as in eariler designs for rapid-cycling synchrotrons (e.g., NINA, DESY, CEA, PPA, and Cornell) Magnet power system parameters are summerized as follows: Operation Energy BMag IMag ESource Injection 200 MeV 488 G 74 A 64 V Extraction 8GeV 6.7KG 1023 A 890 V
