Pumping-up Current Characteristics of Linear Type Magnetic Flux Pump

  • Published : 2004.05.01

Abstract

The linear type flux pump aims to compensate a little bit decremental persistent current of the HTS magnet in NMR and MRI spectrometers. The flux pump mainly consists of DC bias coil, 3-phase AC coil and Nb foil. The persistent current in closed superconductive circuit can be easily adjusted by the 3-phase AC current, its frequency and the DC bias current. In the experiment, it has been investigated that the flux pump can effectively charge the current in the load coil of 543 mH for various frequencies in 18 minutes under the DC bias of 10 A and the AC of 5 $A_{rms}$. The maximum magnitudes of pumping current and load magnet voltage are 0.72 A/min and 20 ㎷, respectively. Based on simulation results by the FEM are proved to nearly agree with experimental ones.
