A regulator has been built to hold the accelerating potential of a Cockcroft-Walton accelerator to within 0.015 percent of any preset potential in the range of 20–250 kilovolts. The regulator is a degenerative type where the error signal is amplified by a galvanometer-phototube dc amplifier system which controls a variable impedance transformer in series with the high-voltage power transformer primary. The regulator is very simple to put into operation. Its action is independent of the potential desired; therefore the range of operation could easily be extended.
