The Full-Voltage Operation of the Acceleration Grid Power Supply for SPIDER Experiment
Academic Article
Publication Date:

abstract:
In SPIDER, the full-scale prototype of the negative
ion source of the ITER Heating Neutral Beam Injectors, negative
ions of hydrogen or deuterium are extracted and accelerated
by a set of grids. This article describes the process and the
technical solutions that allowed achieving the asseveration to
operate the Acceleration Grid Power Supply of SPIDER at full
voltage (-96 kV), reports the first experimental results, and
discusses some possible enhancements that have been identified.
