  RF system of K-500 super conducting cyclotron at VECC is a complex three phase system operating in the frequency range of 9 MHz to 27 MHz with maximum acceleration potential of around 100 kV feeding to each of three Dee cavities placed in median plane of cyclotron 120° apart through coupling capacitors. Each phase consists of chain of amplifiers and resonator operating in synchronization and at final stage of each phase, a high power water cooled Tetrode Tube (Eimac 4CW 150,000 E) as an RF high power amplifier each capable of delivering 80 kW of RF power. Individual power supplies for biasing Anode (20 kV, 22 Amp), Filament (16 V, 225 Amp), Screen (1600 V, 1 Amp) and grid (-500 V, 0.1 Amp) each for all three high power Tetrode Tubes are designed, developed and commissioned indigenously in VECC Cyclotron building and have been in operation from last few months successfully. Anode supply is common to all three tubes, rated at 20 kV, 22 Amp, 450 kW along with fast acting crowbar protection using Ignitron. This paper describes about the technical challenges in the development of the power supplies and special features of protection systems.

  The paper introduces a design of power supply for switch magnet in HIRFL. The main circuit topology used Buck chopper regulator, full-bridge inverter output and power units in parallel in the power supply is introduced. The operation principle and control strategy is analyzed in this article. The power supply can be operated in DC and pulse mode, has the very good output current long-term stability, high reliability and dynamic response characteristics. Finally, some experimental data and waveforms of the power supply are shown to demonstrate the performance of the design.
