  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.

  The injection energy upgrade for J-PARC RCS is planed in 2013. This includes the power supplies upgrade of injection pulsed magnet system, suppression for leakage field, quadrupole correction magnets, reduction of kicker impedance effect and improvements of beam diagnostic instrumentation. The paper reports the present status.
