Abstract:

We describe in these notes the theory and implementation of the current regulated arc modulator used in the H- source. Our discussion includes the low current, high current and after boxing circuit tests of the modulator. We have made several interesting kludges to the circuit in the boxed conffiguration in order for it to function properly. We will also discuss the test results after the modulator is connected to the H- source.
