ICRF shunt regulator-megawatt power supply protection

  • 1. Princeton Univ, NJ

Description

The ICRF shunt regulator is a two-thermal, programmable current sink used to protect the ICRF power supplies from ringing and damage caused by sharp-edged RF amplifier plate current pulses. As an alternative to large banks of capacitors, the shunt regulator softens these edges by drawing a sawtooth-shaped ramp of current both before and after the RF amplifier plate current pulse. In this manner, the load current rise-time can be limited to the order of 100mS, thus preventing ringing and possible damage to the ICRF power supply. 3 refs
