Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the protection of constituent elements without fail even when a persistent current switch is quenched, by a construction wherein a protective semiconductor element is connected to a coil element reversely in direction to a protective element for the persistent current switch, and a current flowing through said semiconductor element is made to flow through a heater of the persistent current switch. CONSTITUTION:It is assumed that a persistent current flows through superconducting coils 1 and 2 and a persistent current switch 3. If the superconducting coil 1 is quenched under the condition, a forward voltage is applied also on a protective semiconductor element 7 and thus a current flows through this element. Since the current flows also through a heater 8 of the persistent current switch 3 on the occasion, the persistent current switch 3 is quenched as well. Therefore a voltage occurs also at both ends of the persistent current switch 3, and consequently the current flows through a protective semiconductor element 6 as well. Even if the quenching of the superconducting coil 1 is not propagated to the superconducting coil 2, the accumulated energy of the superconducting coils 1 and 2 is consumed by the protective semiconductor elements 7 and 6, and thus each component is protected without fail.

A conventional protection circuit for a persistent current switch using a diode is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, when superconducting coils l and 2 are operated with persistent current using persistent current switch 3,
In order to reduce heat intrusion from the outside, the lζ excitation power source 4 can be separated from the cryogenic region 5. If the persistent current switch 3 quenches during operation in this persistent current state, current flows through the diode 6 and consumes power, and the voltage across the persistent current switch 3 is kept low, making it possible to protect the persistent current switch 3. can. However, when the superconducting coil 1 or 2 quenches from the persistent current state, the voltage across the persistent current switch 3 is 0, so no current flows through the diode 6, and the entire stored energy is consumed by the quenched coil 1 or 2. That's what I'm talking about. Superconducting coil 1
If the propagation speed of t or 2 is slow, Joule heat generation will occur locally and there is a risk of burning out the coil.

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that a persistent current is flowing through the superconducting coil 1.2 and the persistent current switch 3. If the superconducting coil 1 is quenched in this state, a forward voltage is applied to the protective semiconductor element 7, which causes the Eζ power to flow. At this time, since current also flows through the heater 8 of the persistent current switch 3, the persistent current switch 3 is also quenched. For this reason, a voltage is generated at both ends of the persistent current switch 3, so the protective semiconductor element 6
Current also flows through the Even if the quench of superconducting coil 1 is not transmitted to superconducting coil 2Iζ, the energy stored in superconducting coils 1 and 2 is consumed in superconducting coil 1 and protective semiconductor elements 7 and 6')'':・1 Each component is reliable.
