Abstract :
Each of the main power supply systems for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) consists of a power module, a digital regulator and an output circuit compartment. The sextant test provided an opportunity to test the prototype main power supply system. This test indicated areas where improvements could be made in the system. Changes were incorporated into the design. Testing of the system, using the actual ring as a load, is expected to be complete by March 1999. The performance of this completed system is presented and discussed
