Folded tandem ion accelerator; generating voltmeter; corona probe controller; voltage stabilization

A terminal voltage stabilization system for the folded tandem ion accelerator (FOTIA) was developed and is in continuous use. The system achieves good voltage stabilization, eliminates ground loops and noise interference. It incorporates a correcting circuit for compensating the mains frequency variations in the GVM amplifier circuit. The present system has two modes of operation namely GVM control mode and slit control mode. A voltage stability of about ± 2 kV has been achieved. In this paper, some of the salient features of the voltage stabilization system are discussed.
