The invention comprises a charged particle cancer therapy system or synchrotron system using a single power supply electrically connected to a plurality of magnet sections to provide a uniform current to a plurality of magnets at a given period in time. Optionally, one or more switches introduce a corresponding one or more resistors into a circuit linking the power supply to a magnet or an inductor during an applied power recovery phase between acceleration cycles of the synchrotron, which reduces time of reduction in power from an active applied power to a power suitable for use with a subsequent injection of charged particles into the synchrotron.
