HL-LHC2kA-10V Power Converters

HiLumi LHC project requires 36 four quadrant linear converters to trim the inner triplets magnets currents Q1 & Q3, and to power orbit correctors magnets of Q1, Q2, Q3 located in the new areas UR15 (16 units) and UR55 (16 units).

A first prototype is already installed in SM18 supplying the new MCBXFA/B orbit corrector magnets.

Current EPC is working in the design upgrade of the four quadrant linear stage. This new design will reduce the converter volume and weight, will facilitate the maintenance and will improve the control stability and the EMC response.
