Abstract

A variety of current and voltage regulation systems have been installed in the Fermilab large magnet system. The four major systems employ different methods to achieve the desired degree of regulation. The methods include computer control and feedback, adaptive learning, precision (10 p.p.m.) current monitoring, and the use of feedforward signals. The authors explain each method used and present the measured regulation of the above systems. Also, an overview of planned upgrades and improvements is presented.<>
