  High current SRF technology is being explored in present day accelerator science. The BERLinPro project is presently being built at the HZB to address the challenges involved in high current SRF machines. A 100 mA electron beam is designed to be accelerated to 50 MeV in continuous wave (cw) mode at 1.3 GHz. One of the main challenges in this project is that of handling high input RF power for the gun as well as booster cavities where there is no energy recovery process. A high power co-axial input coupler is being developed to be used for the booster and gun cavities at the nominal beam current. The coupler is based on the KEK–cERL coupler design. The KEK coupler design has been modified to minimise the penetration of the tip in the beampipe without compromising on beam-power coupling ( Qext ~1 x 105). Herein we report on the RF design for the high power (130 kW) BERLinPro (BP) couplers along with the test stand for conditioning the couplers. We will also report on the RF conditioning of the TTF-III couplers modified for cw operation (low power ~ 10 kW) which will be utilised in a new 4-mA SRF Photoinjector and the BERLinPro main linac cryomodule.
