One of the Work Packages of the "Enhanced Multi- Ionization of short-Lived Isotopes at EURISOL" NuPNET project focuses on the ECR charge breeding. The LPSC charge breeder is used for experimental studies in order to better understand the fundamental processes involved in the 1+ beam capture by a 14 GHz ECR plasma. Some improvements, like symmetrisation of the magnetic field at the injection side and higher pumping speed, have been carried out on the PHOENIX charge breeder. The impact of these modifications on the efficiencies and charge breeding times are presented. In the same time, the new LPSC 1+ source developments performed in order to ease the efficiency measurements with various elements are presented.
