Superconducting magnet configuration with resistive elements which can be contacted

摘要

A magnet configuration comprising a superconducting magnet coil system (M) and a current path (P) which comprises parts of the magnet coil system (M), wherein at least two electric connecting points (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 ) are disposed on the current path (P), which define a section (P_A1-A2, P_A2-A3, P_A3-A4) within the current path (P), wherein the section (P_A1-A2, P_A2-A3, P_A3-A4) does not comprise all parts of the magnet coil system (M) contained in the current path (P), and comprising a resistive element (W_A1-A2, W_A2-A3, W_A3-A4) having an electric resistance value >=0, and at least two contacts (K 1 , K 2 , K 3 , K 4 ), wherein the contacts (K 1 , K 2 , K 3 , K 4 ) are disposed between the resistive element (W_A1-A2, W_A2-A3, W_A3-A4) and one connecting point (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 ), is characterized in that in the superconducting state of the magnet coil system (M), an electric contact (K 1 , K 2 , K 3 , K 4 ) between an electric connecting point (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 ) and a resistive element (W_A1-A2, W_A2-A3, W_A3-A4) can be closed and opened. The inventive magnet configuration provides quench protection and also effective disturbance compensation.
