Abstract

The authors examine cryotron converters for the supply of superconducting DC magnet windings for use in the power industry, transport, medicine, magnetic separation, and electrophysical systems. They were made and studied for currents up to 1 kA, while one for 10 kA is being designed. Electronic control systems ensure the operation of the cryotron converters in fully automatic modes of inductive commutation at an efficiency of 96-98% in the `cold´ zone
