Description

The talk will describe the SL-PO participation in the LHC project. The main ring magnet system in LHC poses new, difficult requirements on power conversion and high current measurement technology. New power converters are being developed in soft-commutated switch mode technolgy. New current transducers for the 13 kA main magnets are being developed as well as a complete calibration infrastructure to assure the very high precision, which approaches 10E-6. A new real-time converter remote control system is under development. The beam transfer will be powered mainly by converters from LEP and SPS and use an updated version of MUGEF. The talk will cover the principles, the development work and review progress to date.

Organiser(s): Werner Herr, SL Division

Note: Tea and coffee will be served at 15:30 in front of the Auditorium
