Description
The power supply for the EC Heating system (ECPS) of ITER provides the electrical power to the 170GHz/1MW Gyrotrons. The required electrical power for the gyrotrons is not only very high but has to comply also with highest quality requirements.
This paper gives an overview of the Ampegon ECPS system procured by F4E. It describes the technical requirements of the EC Power Supply system ECPS and explains how this challenging requirements can be met. The use of the Ampegon PSM and EPSM technology is justified and the expected performance of the system is shown.
The ECPS of the European contribution is currently under development; the project has started by the end of 2013. An outline of the project schedule and the actual status is shown.
