Abstract:In order to reliably protect the superconducting MRI magnets as soon as possible, a hybrid protection system is developed. The protection system, which combines the both merits of active and passive protection schemes, includes a quench detection controller, a protection superconducting switch, a capacitor bank, a strip heaters network and a protection circuitry with back to back diode sets and shunting resistance coils. The quench detection controller is employed to detect the start of a quench and to subsequ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
