Abstract :
A 7000-ton electromagnet forms part of the 7 GeV proton synchrotron Nimrod now under construction at the Rutherford High Energy Laboratory, Harwell. The paper outlines the design of the pulsed power supply for this magnet. The derivation of the power-supply requirements is given, and possible power supply systems are reviewed briefly. The evolution of the design of the selected system, namely motor-alternator flywheel set plus a grid-controlled mercury-arc rectifier equipment, is discussed in some detail.
