Abstract
A persistent current switch (10) for a superconducting magnet comprises a length of superconducting wire having electrical connection ports (16) at its ends, and a heater (13) for supplying heat to the superconducting wire. The length of superconducting wire includes an LTS-segment (11) of low-temperature superconducting material and an HTS-segment (12) of high-temperature superconducting material. Preferably, two LTS-subsegments (11) and one HTS-segment (12) are alternatingly electrically connected in series.
