  A new electromagnetic/permanent magnets helical undulator has been designed and is under commissioning at SOLEIL. For a fast switching of the photon polarization, it requires a power supply able to switch between +/–350 A within 50 ms, without any current overshoot and with a very good current resolution over the full scale (50 ppm). The in-house design is based on two full switching bridges with interleaved commands. Combined with a regulation scheme using sophisticated algorithms, such a design enables to reach a high control bandwidth, permitting fast transitions. Such a fast and accurate system needs well performing digital control electronics. We chose the digital control cards developed at Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen CH) for the SLS (Swiss Light Source). The components, measurements, interlocks, control interfaces, and electronic cards were developed and assembled together at SOLEIL. This paper will present the main lines of this development and the performances achieved during the EMPHU insertion commissioning. The design of the fast power supplies (±20 A) needed for corrector magnets of this insertion will also be presented.

  Top-up injection mode has been routinely in operation since March 2009 for various bunch filling patterns at Synchrotron SOLEIL. The electron beam stored current is maintained within 1%. At each injection the 3 Hz booster power supplies are ramped up and down over 10 seconds every 3 minutes in average. During this time DC and AC perturbations are observed on the storage ring horizontal closed orbit. Typically, the beamline source points can be shifted up to 10-20 μm and the amplitude of the 3Hz frequency is multiplied by a factor 9. The origin of these perturbations lies in the imperfect compensation of the magnet currents circulating along the booster ring located inside the storage ring. To compensate these disturbances, a wire loop was installed in the booster cable tray fed by an in-house developed power supply. Its output current is driven by direct measurement of the main currents of the booster dipole, quadrupole, sextupole power supplies with a proper amplitude and phase shift. This paper presents the determination of the compensation needs according to beam measurements, the original design and the performance reached when this power supply is acting.
