Abstract

Low power superconducting persistent current switch(PCS) for the superconducting magnet systems in the persistent mode was developed and its experimental results were analyzed when the system was charged or discharged. The multifilament NbTi wire with Cu matrix was used for the PCS. The constructed NbTi superconducting switch with superconducting magnet system operated successfully. It also operated on-off switching action with good stabilization. The maximum operating current in persistent mode was 60A (at 1T). In persistent current mode, the decay of the persistent current at 60A was observed. Its decay was 3.55% in 60 min. It is possible to make the persistent current switch with the better decaying of persistent current if some problems for joint resistance are solved.
