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
particle deflection
particle acceleration
Stringentqualification procedure;Transtechnik was the onlyprovider who met therequirements for the13-kA system
– ±600 A / 40 V( )
– 13 kA or 20.5 kA / 18 V( ,alpha experiment)
