The TE-EPC (Power Converters) group is responsible for
design, procurement or construction, installation, commissioning, operation
and maintenance of all power converter systems and static VAR compensators for the present and future
accelerators, including experimental areas at CERN (LINAC 2 and 3, PSB, PS,
AD, ISOLDE, East Area, SPS, North Area; transfer lines, CNGS and LEIR;
projects and facilities: LHC ring, TI 2&8, LHC experiments, CTF3, CAST,…).
The priority of the group is focused on the LHC project.
For the PO group, the LHC project includes all the power converters allowing
the injection of protons and heavy ions from the source towards the LHC
accelerator (Linac 2, Booster, PS, TT2, SPS, TI2&TI8, LHC machine for
protons; Linac 3 and LEIR for heavy ions).
