The LEReC is a high-current, high-brightness accelerator featuring ~100 m of beamline and is designed to operate with 1.6-2.6 MeV electron beams of up to 140 kW beam power. The LEReC requires a dedicated machine protection system (MPS) capable of interlocking electron beam within 40 us and is equipped with multiple levels of protection. In this paper we summarize our experience with designing, building, and operating the LEReC MPS. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
