PCD Engineering primarily consists of engineers and engineering associates dedicated to developing unparalleled DC and Pulsed power systems for accelerator magnets. Technical expertise and professional engineering services extend to Arc Flash Calculations (traditionally not a Power Electronics core skill) and power supply reliability.

Developmental Engineering pushes the speed of electronic power switches, thereby extending and finding new applications for insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology. It provides engineering design and support for klystron high voltage power supplies, pulse forming network (PFN) modulators, fast kicker pulsers, and other pulsed-power systems. Industry adopts many of the Sections designs and concepts.

Power Electronics Engineering undertakes development, design and fabrication of one-of-a-kind or technically difficult DC power supplies that are simply unavailable elsewhere. In addition to power supplies, the Section designs and assembles electronics circuits for control, precision regulation, monitoring and protection, as well as complete operating systems.
