Accelerator layout > 1000 components (almost 300 magnets and power converters, 153 beam diagnostic devices, about 400m of vacuum pipes, a not neglectable number of special magnets, ion sources, RF devices, etc,.. ), which need to be controlled!

In order to keep the beam on track and well focussed, we need magnets (dipoles and quadrupoles).

Magnets without power can not fulfil their job, thus we need power converters. 5 different families (and many more types) Up to 3.3 kA max output current EEI power converters at MA „Special Magnets“, specific components with their power converters (electrostatic and magnetic septa, kicker magnets, etc…) for specialized tasks.
