電導スイツチの超電導保護回路に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a superconducting protection circuit for a superconducting switch operating in superconducting persistent current mode.

A conventional protection circuit using diodes in liquid helium is shown in FIG. In persistent current mode,
Current flows through the superconducting coil 1 and the superconducting switch 2 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. When the superconducting switch 2 is quenched in this state, voltage is generated across the superconducting coil 1 and current flows into the diode 3, consuming the energy stored in the superconducting coil 1 while protecting the superconducting switch 2. Here, the heat generated by the diode 3 is absorbed by liquid helium.

ことができなかつた。 On the other hand, the manner in which the current in the superconducting coil 1 attenuates when the superconducting switch 2 is quenched is determined by the voltage drop due to the inductance of the superconducting coil and the current flowing through the diode, and cannot be freely controlled.

すぎ不都合であつた。 If the voltage drop across the diode is too large compared to the inductance of the superconducting coil, a large voltage will be applied across the coil, and a large current will also flow through the quenched superconducting switch, damaging it. On the other hand, if the voltage drop across the diode is too small, it takes too much time for the current to run out after the superconducting switch is quenched, which is inconvenient.
この発明は、上述した従来の保護回路の欠点を

The present invention improves the drawbacks of the conventional protection circuit described above, and provides a protection circuit that can freely control the voltage across the superconducting coil and the time of current decay when the superconducting switch is quenched. With the goal.

When operating as a protection circuit, the temperature of the junction surface of the diode is higher than the liquid helium temperature. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the characteristic of a diode is that the voltage drop decreases as the temperature increases (T 3 >T 2 >T 1 ). Therefore, the temperature of the junction surface of the diode is controlled by attaching a heat sink with an appropriate shape, surface area, and volume to the diode, thereby obtaining an appropriate voltage drop across the diode that balances the inductance of the superconducting coil. .

Since the voltage drop of the diode can be arbitrarily controlled with respect to the inductance of the superconducting coil, the time of decay of the current in the superconducting coil after the superconducting switch is quenched can be freely controlled. Furthermore, since the voltage across the diode, that is, the voltage across the superconducting coil, can be controlled by the heat sink, the quenched superconducting switch can be reliably protected.
