  Since the completion of PLS in 1994, PLS Linac magnet power supply(MPS) has been operated for 12 years with 12-bit resolution and 0.1% stability. Improvement in the resolution and the reliability of the Linac MPS is highly required now for the stable beam injection and 4th generation light source research. To improve MPS, we developed new compact MPS of 16-bit resolution and 20ppm stability using four-quadrant switching scheme with 50kHz MOSFET switching device. Bipolar MPS for corrector magnet consists of main power board, control power board, regulator board and CPU board. Size of each board is only 100mm width and 240mm depth. Unipolar MPS for quadrupoles and solenoid magnets is composed by parallel-operation of two main power boards, doubling the current output. Output of MPS is 10V, ±10A for the bipolar and 50V, 50A for the unipolar magnet. In this paper, we report on the development and characteristics of the new MPS for PAL linac.

  The klystron-modulator(K&M) system of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) generates high power microwaves for the acceleration of 2.5 GeV electron beams. There are 12 modules of K&M system to accelerate electron beams up to 2.5 GeV nominal beam energy. One module of the K&M system consists of the 200 MW modulator and an 80 MW S-band (2856 MHZ) klystron tube. The total accumulated high-voltage run-time of the oldest unit among the 12 K&M systems has reached nearly 88,000 hours as of December 2005. The overall system availability is well over 95%. In this paper, we review the overall system performance of the high-power K&M system and the operational status of the klystrons and thyratron lifetimes, and the overall system's availability will be analyzed for the period of 1994 to December 2005.
