Analysis and Control of a 130kV Pulse Tetrode Regulator

Abstract

This paper describes the design and modelling of a control system for a 130kV ser1es-pass tetrode voltage regulator used to power a klystron as part of the Boeing, Free Electron Laser (FEL) experiment. This system is capable of supplying regulated voltage pulses to a klystron of up to 130kV, 65A, 8.5 MW peak, 10ms wide, and at 25Hz repetition rate with regulation better than +/- 0.2 percent.
