To commission some of the hard and software for the RHIC electron lenses (e-lenses), a test bench was built based on the EBIS test stand at BNL. After several months of operation, the electron gun, collector, high-voltage gun modulator, instrumentation, partial control system, and several software applications have been tested. The nominal DC beam current of 0.85 A was demonstrated and the electron beam transverse profiles were verified to be Gaussian. Some e-lens power supplies and the electronics for current measurement were also evaluated on the test bench. The properties of the cathode and the profile of the beam are measured. In this paper, we will present some experimental results.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Mechanical analysis of the RHIC beam dump window has shown that present heavy ion beam intensities are close to the tolerable limit, and will likely exceed that limit in future runs. Different approaches to upgrade the abort system for those projected higher intensities have been studied, namely replacing the existing window, and adding a vertical kicker that distributes the individual bunches more evenly across the window, thus reducing the heat load. We present the results of these studies and the present status of the upgrade project.
