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

Drazen Dujic, Émilien Luc Henri Coulinge, Serge Pittet

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 ...
