A new superconducting solenoid magnet was installed in the yellow ring of RHIC before Run 13 as part of the e-lens project. The second solenoid superconducting magnet will be installed in RHIC after Run 13 is over. There are 6 power supplies required for the solenoid, fringe and anti-fringe coils for both magnets. Commercial off the shelf unipolar power supplies are used to power the solenoid, fringe and anti-fringe coils. There are 24 corrector power supplies required for both magnets. Custom built 50A bipolar power supplies are used to power the correctors. Quench protection and quench detection have also been installed in this power supply system. In addition, 4 new phase shift power supplies have been installed in RHIC which are needed for the new e-lens system. These phase shift power supplies have been installed across the yellow focusing and defocusing arcs as well as the blue focusing and defocusing arcs from sector 8 to sector 10. Power Supply technology, control system, connections, the quench detection/protection system, and status will be presented.
