The Linear IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is aiming at demonstrating the low-energy section of a 40 MeV/125 mA IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a full beam current in continuous-wave operation. For such a high-power beam, the LIPAc injector is required to produce a beam current of 140 mA and 100 keV D ^+ beams. The injector commissioning to reach high beam current has been progressing at high duty cycle operation, then stable operation for many hours at a beam condition of 150 mA total extracted current. This result demonstrates that the LIPAc injector can meet the required performance for nominal 125 mA long pulse deuteron beam acceleration.
