Abstract

Provided is an excitation source for a superconducting magnet, which can quickly return to a normal state (a state of no short circuit) even when the two output ends of the excitation source undergo a short circuit, caused by abnormal situations like an incorrect quench detection, an internal abnormity and a sudden reduction in main power supply voltage, or when power is restored after being cut off. An excitation source (101) comprises a power supply (1), a power unit (3), a protective circuit (16) which will be closed to protect contacts (4a) undergoing short circuit at two output ends of the power unit (3) when an abnormality occurs, and a first shunt resistance (5) detecting the current value in a return circuit A, and a resetting circuit (31). After a protective relay (4) moves, closing the contact (4a) through the protective circuit (16), the resetting circuit (31) is reset from a protective state through disconnecting the contact (4a) by adopting the detection value of the first shunt resistance (5) and a second shunt resistance (8) and making the output current value of the power unit (3) and the current value passing through a superconducting coil (2L) being equal.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an excitation power supply for superconducting magnets and an operation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In superconducting magnets, there is the so-called quench phenomenon, that is, the phenomenon that voltage is generated due to the destruction of the superconducting state and the zero resistance becomes the normal conductive state. In addition, the sudden change of the current due to the resistance is increasing. Superconducting magnets composed of superconducting coils will generate high voltage. In addition, on the contrary, if the current suddenly changes due to the problem of the excitation power supply itself, it will interact with the occurrence of the above-mentioned quench. On the excitation power supply side, the power element may be damaged due to the high voltage or the huge energy lost where it flows back. On the superconducting magnet side, quench occurs due to the sudden current change, so the superco...
