MercuryiPS

A superconducting intelligent magnet power supply.
A level-meter card can be configured which is linked to magnet safety interlocks. The level-meter raises an error If the cryogen level falls below a safe level.​

Level Meter Card​

Auxiliary cards can be configured into the MercuryiPS. This can be used as an autofill if there is a cryogenic filling system included.

Auxiliary Card​

MercuryiPS can be configured for the specific magnet requirements from 60 A to 600 A, with a variety of auxiliary cards.​

Features

  • Based on ±60 A modules with ±10 V compliance.
  • Can be configured in parallel, series and matrix modes from the basic ±60 A with ±10 V output up to ±600 A with ±10 V or ±300 A with ±20 V output configurations.
  • Communications support a full range of interface options (Ethernet, USB, RS232, and optional GPIB) with downloadable Mercury function library for LabVIEW.
  • Quench protection and auto-rundown. The MercuryiPS can be programmed to run the magnet down safely in the event of magnet temperature rise, low cryogen levels or if triggered by an external TTL signal.
  • The MercuryiPS has an on-board temperature sensor for diagnostic monitoring of the magnet temperature.
