Abstract

It has already been investigated that current pumping of the linear-type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP) is controlled by frequency of 3-phase inverter. In this paper, based on these operating characteristics, a current compensator, which is composed of a LTMFP and a feedback control circuit system, has been introduced to compensate for the persistent current decay of the superconducting magnet. From the experiment, the current compensator has been demonstrated with the toroidal assembly of six Nb-Ti magnets 543 mH under the operating load current at 10 A
