Control of a high-power neutral beam generator by means of arc-current regulation

Description

Preliminary tests of a method for regulating the accelerator perveance of a high-power neutral beam, by controlling the plasma source have been conducted and are encouraging. The phase shifts and feedback paths were identified and quantified, and stabilization was achieved by adding and R-C snubber at the accelerator power supply output which reduced the destabilizing phase lags. The incorporation of such regulators into future systems is envisioned to make these high-power neutral beam systems cheaper and easier to operate
