  With the energy upgrading of LINAC (Linear accelerator) to 400 MeV in the J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), a new power supply of the injection bump magnet has been designed for the 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron). The new power supply is composed with the capacitor bank which has function to form the output current pattern. This power supply is a commutation strategy using the electrical charge and discharge of the capacitor, and the frequency of the switch that becomes the source of the noise is a little. Comparing to the conventional switching-type power supply, this power supply is switched only twice for the pattern formation. Thus, the ripple due to the switching can be expected to be much lower. The 1/16 scale model was manufactured and the characteristics was evaluated. This paper summarizes the design parameter and the experimental result of the new power supply.

  3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) at High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility (J-PARC) have started for 24-hour operation with repetition rate of 25 pps in February, 2009. Kicker power supply system which uses thyratrons switches is used for extraction of the proton beam. There were many troubles for unstable operation of the thyratrons just after beam commissioning started. Recently, however, the operations were improved and the failure rate was reduced to approximately 0.1 % in October 2010. After the earthquake on March 11, 2011, the injection and extraction magnets, power supplies, the cables and the bus-duct have been checked. Insulation resistance test, impedance test were performed. Reflected wave measurements by the low-level and high-power pulse of the kicker magnets were performed. Visual checks by a fiber endoscope were also performed in the kicker magnets. The results of the measurements and the checks were all not in the problem.
