• 4.3 Design and development of Pulsed Power Supply for Electron Gun
  
  The scheme uses a doubly tuned circuit and two thyratrons. In the implemented scheme, the maximum working voltage is equal to the load voltage reducing the safety requirements (as compared to PFN). Less number of components, simpler tuning, lower working voltage and hence the associated benefits in device and component ratings make this scheme attractive at the expense of loss of efficiency. There are three stages of the power supply. An AC to DC converter and then a doubly tuned circuit follow a switching circuit. The diode electron gun is coupled to the high voltage power supply through an oil immersed pulse transformer having ratio 1:5. The balanced arrangement of high voltage application to the gun offers minimum stray capacitive coupling to the earth via the filament transformer improving rise and fall times of the pulse.

  The power supply has a single phase diode rectifier with an LC filter at its front end followed by a half-bridge switch mode converter. The half-bridge converter, operating at 50 kHz, has full-bridge rectifier configuration at the output with an LC filter. A four-quadrant power converter based on Unipolar switching scheme is employed at the output stage. The scheme provides: 1) true bipolar output current with minimum switching ripple at lower amplitudes of load current, and 2) the voltage ripple frequency at twice the switching frequency reducing output filter size. The H-bridge switches at 50 kHz. The load current is sensed with a low temperature coefficient Zeranin shunt.

The filter capacitor is charged to dc voltage by operating the inverter bridge in rectification mode simultaneously. Due care is needed to be taken to control inrush current at the start up. The control scheme is such that the filter not only corrects the current harmonics but compensates reactive power thus improving overall power factor of the system.

  A vacuum brazing facility (vacuum furnace) has been developed at RRCAT for joining aluminium alloys and making bimetallic joints between aluminium and austenitic stainless steel that are compatible with ultra-high vacuum requirements of particle accelerators. The vacuum brazing of aluminium alloys requires precisely control of heat cycles, accurate multi-point thermometry, ultra-clean vacuum, and a system for controlling and monitoring the heating process.
  
  A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has been developed in the Accelerator Power Supplies Division to remotely program, supervise, control, and regulate heat cycles of the vacuum furnace up to 620°C. The SCADA system, follows a modular architecture comprising of a data acquisition system and Open Source Python based graphical user interface (GUI) running on the remote PC. Along with the development of the supervisory and control software, the closed loop PID control has also been implemented for control of the furnace temperature. To arrive at the proper PID coefficients, a systematic study was carried out on establishing the model of the furnace; wherein the highly temperature dependent parameters like thermal resistance and the system time constants around a few discrete points over the operating temperature range were found out.
