Abstract :
A MOSFET burst for the injection system of the Large Electron Positron (LEP) storage rings has been designed which is located in the surface building without the need of a tunnel located pulser. This circuit offers considerable advantages with regard to maintenance and simplicity due to the possibility of interrupting the Switch current. The switch consists of three power MOSFETs connected in series. They switch 150 A in 90 ns and interrupt the current in 200 ns. Pulse length is 3.3 μs. A prototype of the MOSFET burst has performed well during tests, and the measurements confirm analog simulation calculations
