The 12 kV, 50 kA Pulse Generator for the SPS MKDH Horizontal Beam Dump Kicker System,equipped with Semiconductor Switches

The high current pulses for the MKDH magnets are generated with capacitor discharge type generators which, combined with a resistive free-wheel diode circuit, deliver a critically damped half-sine current with a rise-time of 25 ms. Each generator consists of two 25 kA units, connected in parallel to...

Descripción
Sumario:The high current pulses for the MKDH magnets are generated with capacitor discharge type generators which, combined with a resistive free-wheel diode circuit, deliver a critically damped half-sine current with a rise-time of 25 ms. Each generator consists of two 25 kA units, connected in parallel to a magnet via low inductance transmission lines. They are equipped with a stack of four Fast High Current Thyristors, together with snubber capacitors, a voltage divider and a specially designed trigger transformer.
