Pulsed, Generator Powered Magnets

Power Supply:

The Los Alamos 1200 ton, 1.4 gigawatt synchronous motor-generator produces ac power, which can be easily controlled. It will provide to the magnet a wide range of pulse shapes such as linear ramps, steps, and other programmed curves. A steady, maximum field of 60 T can be sustained for 0.1 s (and 50 T for 0.5 s).

Magnet Cell:

The magnet will be in its own cell near the capacitor-driven magnet cells to ensure the safety of the users and the ready availability of the same research instrumentation used in all of the pulsed magnets.

Magnet Characteristics:

60 T, 32 mm bore, 100 ms flat-top pulse, one shot per hour at full field.
