Description

Around 300 power converters are in service for the SPS north area since the end of the seventies. Their electronic generates four times more failures than the power converters of the SPS ring. The presentation will detail the works done under the EA renovation project. The start-up problems of the new POWERJC will be explained. The major concerns for operation in the coming years will be listed.
