  The IFMIF/EVEDA Accelerator Prototype will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator to validate the technical options for the IFMIF accelerator design. The Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ), buncher cavities and Superconducting Radiofrequency Linac (SRF Linac) require continuous wave RF power at 175 MHz with an accuracy of ±1% in amplitude and ±1° in phase. Also the IFMIF/EVEDA RF Power System has to work under pulsed mode operation (during the accelerator commissioning). The IFMIF/EVEDA RF Power System is composed of 18 RF power generators feeding the eight RFQ couplers (200 kW), the two buncher cavities (105 kW) and the eight superconducting half wave resonators of the SRF Linac (105 kW). The main components of each RF power chain are the Low Level Radio Frequency system (LLRF), three amplification stages and a circulator with its load. For obvious standardization and scale economies reasons, the same topology has been chosen for the 18 RF power chains: all of them use the same main components which can be individually tuned to provide different RF output powers up to 200 kW. The studies and the current design of the IFMIF/EVEDA RF Power System are presented in this contribution.
