Diversified Technologies, Inc.(DTI) has delivered a fully solid state Klystron Power Supply for the ISIS Front End Test Stand to Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The new pulsed power supply drives a Toshiba E3740A klystron in preparation for construction of a system to demonstrate high quality intense chopped beams. DTI's system represents a significant advance in solid-state high power accelerator technology based upon a hard switch developed for the US Department of Energy (DOE) to meet similar requirements for the International Linear Collider(ILC). The system includes two 220 kW switching power supplies, a 110 kV solid state hard switch pulse modulator, mod anode and filament power supplies, klystron fault protection, and interfaces to the ISIS controls. This paper will address the design and construction of the KPS system, as well as test results from the installation at RAL in May 2009.
