Abstract

A highly regulated pulsed charging power supply was developed for the SLC (Stanford Linear Collider) damping ring kicker system to provide a kicker pulse amplitude stability of better than 0.01%. This unique supply charges the kicker cables, with a capacitance of 4800 pF to 80 kV (15 J), in less than 40 mu s. Operation is unaffected by intermittent kicker operation or changes in repetition rate up to the rated 180 Hz. The charger utilizes a commercial DC regulated supply and a single SCR switch. There are three layers of regulators to insure high pulsed charging voltage stability.<>
