Power Supplies & Converters
The bespoke converters that feed magnets and heating.
- Role
- Power conditioning
- Lead time
- 18–24 mo
Large, bespoke power converters feed the magnets, heating systems and, on the burner, the direct-conversion electronics. They are conventional but high-power, and a ~18–24-month lead item.
Common questions
What do the power supplies and converters do?
They condition grid power into the precise, controllable currents the magnets, heating systems and coils need, and absorb energy during ramps and faults. They are the machine's electrical backbone.
Is this novel hardware?
No — high-power converters are mature industrial technology. The task is specification and integration to the machine's dynamic requirements, classed as ready for detailed design.
