[en] The Doublet III neutral beam plasma heating system comprises three beamlines with a total of six ion sources. Each of these ion sources is energized from a Neutral Beam Power System (NBPS) which is capable of delivering pulses at 80 kV and 100 A with pulse lengths up to 1 second in duration. A 138 kV San Diego Gas and Electric Company line is used as the prime power source for the NBPS. The 138 kV line is stepped down through an 84 MVA (pulse rating) 138 kV-12.47 kV transformer and an 8 MVA (pulse rating) 138 kV-480 V transformer. The 12.47 kV transformer feeds six NBPS high voltage circuits. The 480 V transformer supplies power to the filament, arc, and auxiliary power systems and control consoles in each NBPS. Each of the NBPS may block (controlled interruption of NBPS to protect the ion source) several times during a shot. Voltage variations due to such blocking by one or more systems have been measured on the 12.47 kV distribution bus as part of an effort to reduce system interaction
