| Abstract |
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the next accelerator being constructed at the European
Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The superconducting LHC particle accelerator requires
high currents (13kA) and relatively low voltages (16 V) for its magnets. This paper describes the
development and the production of a [13kA, 16V] power converter. The converter is made with a
modular concept with five current sources [3.25kA,16V] in parallel. The 3.25kA sources are built as
plug-in modules: a diode rectifier on the AC mains, a Zero Voltage Zero Current Switching (ZVZCS)
inverter working at 25 kHz and an output stage.
The obtained performance is presented and discussed. |
