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. 💡

In semiconductor manufacturing, improving silicon quality is a constant challenge. One of the key technologies used today is Excimer Laser Annealing.
This process relies on pulsed UV lasers to locally treat silicon without affecting the rest of the wafer.
Behind this technology lies a critical component: the pulsed plasma used to generate UV light. This is where Technix capacitor chargers play a key role.
Requirements for this application include:
• ~30kV output voltage
• Up to 500 mA charging current
• Pulse-to-pulse reproducibility
• Reliability and robustness
• Remote control interfaces compatible with various systems
For nearly 18 years, Technix has been supplying chargers for this demanding application. Our customers’ continued trust reflects not only product performance, but also long-term reliability and support.
This is one example of our expertise across multiple high-power pulsed laser applications, where precision and consistency are essential. 💡

Subsea environments place extreme demands on electrical systems. High-voltage power supplies play a key role in two main applications:
🔌 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
High voltage (typically 30 to 50kV) is injected to measure leakage current and verify cable isolation.
→ With our zero-floating option, users can directly measure output current with high precision — without floating the equipment under test.
Technix also supports customers in defining the most accurate and adapted solution for their specific setup.
🌐 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
Modern installations rely on HV lines (typically 5 to 10kV, with currents of a few amps) to power repeaters in series over long distances.
→ Installed offshore, the power system must be highly reliable and easy to integrate.
Our solutions are ideally suited for Power Feed Equipment (PFE) applications, offering:
• Proven robustness in demanding environments
• Flexible control interfaces
• Seamless integration with various control systems
These are mission-critical applications where performance alone is not enough — customers also rely on strong technical support and long-term partnership. Technix combines both. 🤝

We recently had the challenge of designing and delivering two high-voltage DC power supplies for a high-power radar system. Each unit delivers 50 kV – 80 kW and had to fit into a very constrained installation space. To achieve this, we engineered compact rack-mounted solutions, fully optimized for integration.
🔹 Another major challenge was the need for a floating high-voltage return. Our design included an isolated negative output at 50 kV and a positive isolated output at 1 kV, combined in a master/slave configuration with oil-insulated HV stages.
Despite the technical complexity, the user experience remains simple: each output is connected with a single cable, designed asymmetrically to prevent any incorrect connections.
This project demonstrates how Technix transforms demanding technical constraints into reliable, user-friendly solutions for advanced radar applications.
