topPower Converter Architecture

The D21 is a voltage booster called a "Diode module". It is used in North experimental area to increase the output voltage of a R12, R21 or R22 power converter.

This Diode module is composed of one part:

The Power part contains the transformer, the Main Circuit Breaker, the diode bridges and auxiliary circuitry.

topControl & Regulation Part

The control of the external Diode Module is from the Power Converter. Control for turning ON of the MCB and required interlock signals in the diode Module are routed through SK114 cable. The Diode Module MCB is switched on 2-3 seconds after the Power Converter.
