Abstract
Total 12 units of high power klystron-modulator systems as microwave source are under operation for 2.5 GeV electron linear accelerator in Pohang Light Source (PLS) linac. The klystron-modulator system has an important role for the stable operation to improve an availability statistics of overall system performance of klystron-modulator system. RF power and beam power of klystron are precisely measured for the effective control of electron beam. A precise measurement and measurement equipment with good response characteristics are demanded for this. Input power of klystron is calculated from the applied voltage and the current on its cathode. Tiny measurement error severely effects RF output power value of klystron. Therefore, special care is needed to measure precise beam voltage. Capacitive voltage divider (CVD), which divides input voltage as capacitance ratio, is intended for the measurement of a beam voltage of 400 kV generated from the klystron-modulator system. Main parameter to determine standard capacitance in the high arm of CVD is dielectric constant of insulation oil. Therefore CVD should be designed to have a minimum capacitance variation due to voltage, frequency and temperature in the measurement range. This paper will be present and discuss the design concept and analysis of capacitive voltage divider for a pulsed high-voltage measurement, and the empirical relations between capacitance effects and oil temperature variation.
