  The presented report contains the description of 3-channel current source with channel output current up to 180 A and output voltage. Each channel can be operated and controled independently. The source consists of 2 part. First part is charging source with capasitance bank at output. And the second part is 3 current sources powered by a capacitance bank. The charging source is converter with IGBT switches, working with a principle of pulse-width modulation on programmed from 15 to 25 kHz frequency, with high power rectivier at output. The source output voltage is up to 180 V, peak power is 40 kW and average power is 20 kW. Capacitance bank has 120 kVA storage energy. Second part contains 3 independent current sources with up to 180 A output current each. Each current source consist of H-bridge 2-quadrant convertor with MOSFET switches working on 50 kHz frequency and tho output LC filter. The controllers of the sources is developed with DSP and PLM, which allows optimizing operations of the sources. The controllers are connected by internal control network for more flexibility and efficiency. The description of the source and the test results are presented.
