Abstract
A superconducting toroidal magnet system includes magnet segments subdivided into two groups, wherein each group has its own supply device, in order to prevent a total failure from local overheating in the event of a quench. The supply devices are constructed with low impedance. This promotes a so-called current swing between the groups.
Claims5
A superconducting toroidal magnet system, comprising:
- a toroidal magnet formed by a plurality of toroidally disposed magnet segments each assigned to one of a first group and a second group
- said magnet segments assigned to said first group being galvanically separated from said magnet segments assigned to said second group, said magnet segments assigned to said first group being disposed alternately with said magnet segments assigned to said second group, said magnet segments of said first group being inductively coupled to said magnet segments of said second group for energy transfer;
- and
- supply devices each connected to said magnet segments of a respective one of said first and second groups.
