Design Optimization of Two-Quadrant High-Current Low-Voltage Power Supply

Serge Pittet, Émilien Luc Henri Coulinge, Drazen Dujic

The high-current delivered by a dedicated power supply is the condicio sine qua non to obtain the strong magnetic field produced by superconducting magnets. The end goal of such power supply is to control the current, very precisely, across this distinctiv ...
