High-precision current sourcefor high current at low voltage,up to 13 kA / 18 V

Compact, modular designin 19-inch cabinets

Basic structure:Chopper – transformer –3x rectifier

Water coolingfor high power density

Redundancy using multipleparallel-switched currentsources allows maintenanceduring operation

2 different systems
