Abstract: Along LINAC s downstream path is a floor containing various cabinets above the LINAC. Of the dozens of cabinets are 4 specific cabinet types: PFN (pulse-forming network) Module, PFN Power Supply, Water Skid, and Marx. Each of these cabinets may contain some of the various contents that include electronics, wiring, circuits, and conduits. In addition, high voltage and low conductivity water (LCW) piping are also present within the cabinets. Occasionally, Lab Technicians perform maintenance and inspections of the cabinets and need to access every part, including the top section that is subject to the weight of the technician standing on top. To ensure the cabinet is structurally safe, a CAD model was developed for each cabinet and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on each cabinet to confirm it is safe to stand on.
