This study explores voltage stability and regulation in power supply systems for accelerators, addressing pulse-to-pulse repeatability, charging voltage ratios, and overall system performance. It includes theoretical analysis and practical considerations for optimizing stability. Results from PFN systems and potential areas of improvement are discussed, along with the importance of PFN monitoring and diagnostics. The paper also suggests equipment recommendations for enhanced diagnostics and proposes further studies for addressing system instabilities.

Theoretical PFN voltage stability and regulation range • Power supply rated: 50kV, 2.5kJ/sec peak, 40kHz switching freq. • Peak charge current: • Ipk = 2 (Ppk /Vrated) = 2(2.5kJ/50kV) = 100mA • Voltage variations: • ∆V = Ipk x 0.5Tsw /Cpfn= 100mA x 12.5µs/0.7µF = 1.78V • Pulse to pulse repeatability: • 1.78V / 50kV = 36 ppm • Charging voltage-time ratio: • Vchg/Tchg = Ipk /Cpfn = 100mA /0.7µF = 143 V/ms • For 4ms charge time (120Hz operation) Vchg = 572V • PFN voltage regulation range = 572V / 50kV = 1.1% Minh Nguyen AIP Review 2/20/2013
