Abstract
A prototype switching system has been developed which can switch 20 kA at 230 V furnished by low‐voltage dc generators at the National Magnet Laboratory. The energy is used to generate quasistatic magnetic fields in liquid‐nitrogen‐cooled copper coils for times approaching 1 s. The present arrangement is limited to fields up to 40 T. The silicon‐controlled rectifier switching system, protective devices, circuit operation, and magnet structures are discussed.Keywords
