  We present, in this paper, the present status of the 3 MeV high current proton Linac for the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) at Tsinghua University. The ECR ion source produces 50 keV proton beam which is accelerated to 3 MeV by the downstream RFQ accelerator. The RFQ accelerator has been conditioned to 50 Hz/500 μs with the input power of 442 kW. Proton beam with the peak current of 30 mA, pulse length of 100 μs and repetition rate of 50 Hz has been delivered to the Beryllium target to produce the neutron since July 2013. The status of the development of the Drift Tube Linac is also presented in this paper. The beam energy will be enhanced to 13 MeV after the DTL is ready in 2015.
