The Large Helical Device (LHD) is an experimental facility for fusion plasma using a large scale mutually coupled superconducting coil system and it is now operating at the National Institute for Fusion Science. This paper introduces the design and the operation results of the dc power systems to drive these coils. First, the outline of the LHD and the power supplies are described. Next, a control system and the current controller for the power supplies are introduced. Finally, some experimental results are introduced.
