In large research facilities such as synchrotrons, generating pulses for advanced experiments requires reliable and high-energy charging systems.
Back in 2014, Technix developed 50kV – 10kJ capacitor chargers for a major European synchrotron, also used as a neutron and muon source.
These chargers are designed to operate at high voltage with continuous repetition rates above 10 Hz, delivering 10kJ/s charging power, all within a compact format. They are used to charge Pulse Forming Networks (PFN).
Key requirements for this application include:
• High voltage operation (50kV)
• Continuous operation at >10 Hz
• Stable and repeatable charging performance
• Robustness and long-term reliability
• Custom interfaces compatible with existing control and safety systems
More than 10 years after installation, these systems are still operating reliably.
Based on this performance, Technix has recently been selected to supply two additional chargers, to extend the facility’s capabilities while ensuring full compatibility with the existing setup.
This is a great example of long-term reliability on a highly specific and demanding application. 💡
