A hybrid combination of electronic and magnetic amplifiers was successfully and reliably utilized over the past five years in a variable, precision regulated, low-voltage high-current supply for a charged particle deflection magnet. Controlled current range is from 5 to 200 amp at up to 40 v. Despite the nonlinear impedance presented by the magnet" s shielded coils, appropriate feedback loops permit an esssntially critically damped 0.01% control response throughout the entire current range. As crucially reflected in the magnet's field, regulation and nipple are <0.01%. (auth)
