On the design of a high current power supply for superconducting magnet
The purpose of the article is the description, considerations of design and presentation of experimental results of a high current (1000 A) and low voltage (up to 15 V) converter for the excitement of superconducting corrector magnets in particle accelerators. The power source, which is based on a ZVT converter, presents high efficiency, small output ripple, excellent regulation of line, and fulfilment of the EMC normative (VDE 0871 A).
A three domain controller for a high frequency high power four quadrant power converter for superconducting magnets
The paper describes the implementation of a controller that orchestrates the functioning of three subsystems that implement a high energy converter (/spl plusmn/1500 A, /spl plusmn/15 V) that supplies a superconducting magnet to be used in particle accelerators. The performance of the whole system, in accordance to specifications, is documented with experimental results.
