The KSTAR Magnet Power Supply (MPS) was dedicated to the SC coil commissioning and 1st plasma experiment as a part of the system commissioning. Although many efforts to develop large-current power supplies that are useful for high power electronic devices have been made in various application fields, such as for large metal-plating devices, there were clear discrepancies between conventional power supply technologies and that for the SC coils due to the special SC coil load conditions. Therefore, most of the power supply technologies for the SC coils were a challenge in the domestic research area due to their limited application. However, the MPS commissioning result showed that all of the hardware and controlling software operated well, and this result finally led to the success of SC coil commissioning and the KSTAR 1st plasma experiment. This paper will describe key features of KSTAR MPS for the 1st plasma experiment, and will also report the commissioning results of the magnet power supplies.
