New power converters will soon be installed in the HL-LHC IT String
The power converters HL-LHC2kA-10V are four-quadrant linear and modular converters that can provide voltages ranging from -10 volts to 10 volts and currents ranging from -2000 amperes to 2000 amperes...
Successful prototype validation of ultra-high precision current measurement devices for HL-LHC
The WP6B “Class 0” ultra-high precision current measurement devices, or DCCTs (direct current current transformers), are used for the accurate current measurement/regulation in the 14kA (D1: MBXF, D2: MBRD) and 18kA (Main Inner Triplet) power converters..
Powering for a sustainable future
CERN’s transfer lines are undergoing significant renovations to make them more energy efficient while delivering high-quality beams reliably to experiments, write Konstantinos Papastergiou and Gilles Le Godec.
Current/field control of the PS-Booster main magnets power converters
The PSB main magnets are powered by 28 power converters following the schematic represented in fig1. The fact that all circuits are magnetically coupled among each others, makes the control of these power converters very difficult, as any modification...
PS Main Power Supply
POPS supplies the PS magnets without drawing all the power from the network. The maximum stored energy in the magnets is 14MJ. This energy is supplied by the capacitor banks (CS)...
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).
R2E-LHC600A-10V Power Converters
In the frame of the LHC-consolidation project, 104 radiation tolerant converters haven been produced to replace the old LHC600A-10V power sources located in the irradiated areas RR1x, RR5x and RR7x
