Title: Fault detection and protection system for neutral beam generators on the Neutral Beam Engineering Test Facility (NBETF)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5236050· OSTI ID:5236050

Neutral beam sources, their power supplies and instrumentation can be damaged from high voltage sparkdown or from overheating due to excessive currents. The Neutral Beam Engineering Test Facility (NBETF) in Berkeley has protective electronic hardware that senses a condition outside a safe operating range and generates a response to terminate such a fault condition. A description of this system is presented in this paper. 8 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
