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.

From the beginning, the SOLEIL Storage Ring was designed to operate in Top Up injection mode. So all equipments involved have been specified to generate as small as possible beam perturbations of the stored beam during the electron beam injection. This concerns many aspects of the design and realization of the injection pulsed magnets (kickers and septa), their vacuum chambers, pulsed power supplies and timing electronics. Despite quite satisfactory results of pulsed magnetic measurements in labs, a still too large perturbation was observed on the e^- beam orbit during the Storage Ring commissioning. Therefore a strong work of systematic measurements, analysis of each phenomena, tuning or modification of each device was led until reaching rather good and acceptable performances. This paper will present the results obtained. At this stage, the Storage Ring beam orbit is sufficiently stable in Top Up injection mode so that it is almost transparent to the 24 beam lines, even for the most sensitive ones. After a summary of the main significant topics, we present the developments foreseen to further improve the performances and make a new step towards a “perfect” Top Up injection.
