Superconducting magnet electronics
Electronics for superconducting magnet systems
Scientific Magnetics partners with 3rd party electronics manufacturers to supply the very best in system electronics, including superconducting magnet power supplies, temperature controllers/monitors and cryogen level meters. Below is an example of our standard PS120- 10V power supply.
Features and benefits of our system electronics:
- Modular design, allowing master-slave operation for higher current models
- An integral electronic polarity-reversing switch option can be fitted
- Independently fail-safe protected, air-cooled and has an internal high-stability shunt for greater accuracy
- IEEE-488 and optically isolated RS232 operation with short-form codes for ease of automatic computer operation and confirmation of the operational status shown by a backlit liquid crystal display on the front panel
- Adjustable output for persistent switch heater
- Fully configurable from the front panel or using the remote interface
- With optional reversing switch
- Automated quench monitoring and safe shut-down
