Abstract: The fast-ramp (FR) power converters (PCs) are used to ramp the magnetic field of electromagnets in particle accelerators at a fast rate, while maintaining the desired tracking accuracy with respect to the reference ramp profile. The development of such FRPCs with stringent tracking requirements, coupled with other factors, poses challenges to the design of feedback control system. In order to judge the adequacy of the single current control loop to achieve specified tracking accuracy, the relationship between the control loop bandwidth and tracking accuracy must be known. This relationship is established in the present paper for linear and sinusoidal ramp profiles by deriving closed-form mathematical expressions. Experimental studies are performed on a prototype power converter with maximum ratings of 100 A/35 V and it was observed that the experimental results are in good agreement with analytical findings.
