Abstract:

CERN accelerators require continuous maintenance, adaptation to changing needs and day-to-day follow-up. The Electrical Power Converter Group (EPC) of the Technology Department (TE) is responsible for operating and maintaining the power converters for the whole CERN accelerator complex. The Group is also responsible for the design, production follow-up, testing, installation and operation of the power converters for the future CERN projects.

Description:

Founded in 1954 in Geneva, CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research is the world's most advanced fundamental research institute for particle physics. Over the last 50 years, it has become a prime example of international collaboration with currently 20 European Member States.
