Abstract
In this paper a detailed description is given of an integrated system of a Rectifier Type Flux Pump.
Solving a most significant problem occured during a current exchange from one cryotron to the other, a maximum current of about 1, 300Amp is obtaind and produced a field strength of about 30kG in a small superconducting coil of L=1.7mH.
Current charge, discharge and persistent mode operation is very easily performed by changing a phase shift of the control unit.
There considered to be no basic problems in the small magnet systems with Flux Pump. But in applying Flux Pumps to magnet systems storing many megajoules of energy, several problems had to be solved which were not directly related to the Flux Pump itself. One and essencial of these is “Reliability” of the Systems.
