Abstract :
In this paper we summarize the progress made in demonstrating the application of solid state switching to accelerator power systems. We discuss in considerable detail the development of a klystron drive system for an ion linac which uses a minimal number of IGBT components to produce average power levels of 60 kW-180 kW at 125 kV and peak powers of 7.5 MW.
