	Funding: This work is supported by MEST(Ministry of Education, Science and Technology) and POSCO(Pohang Steel and Iron Company). The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) had started the upgrade project (called PLS-II) of the Pohang Light Source (PLS) from 2009 for increasing its energy from 2.5 GeV to 3 GeV and changing the operation mode from fill-up to top-up mode. Top-up mode operation requires high energy stability of the linac beam and machine reliability in the linac modulator systems. For providing the additional 0.5 GeV energy from the 2.5 GeV PLS linac, we added four units of the modulator system. We have two different types of the pulse modulator system for using existing pulse modulators, thyristor control type, in the upgrade project (PLS-II). The two types are thyristor control type and inverter power type. In the thyristor control type, a de-Qing system controls the modulator pulse forming network (PFN) charging voltage stability, and in the inverter power supply type, CCPS provides highly stable charging voltage to the modulator. We will present development and management of the pulse modulator system for obtaining machine reliability and stability from 3.0 GeV linac.
