Model 430 Programmer with zero flux current sensing system, Model 601 Energy Absorber, and Model 08150PS Power Supply. The AMI Model 05100PS-430-601 Power Supply System provides for a degree of flexibility and accuracy previously unavailable in an economical commercial product.
1.1.4 Flexibility The Model 05100PS-430-601 system is configured as a two-quadrant high- stability power supply system which is able to both supply and remove electrical energy from the superconducting magnet system. The Power Supply System was engineered to be compatible with most magnet systems.
Watt unipolar voltage and current stabilized DC Power Supply are configured with a Model 601 Energy Absorber to make up the +100 A, ±5 Vdc bipolar system designated as 05100PS-430-601. The power supply is remotely controlled by the Model 430 Power Supply Programmer.
The power supply front panel contains the input ON/OFF circuit breaker and the OUTPUT indicators. The remaining front panel controls are not used in the Model 05100PS-430-601 configuration because the output is controlled by the Model 430 Programmer. Refer to Figure 1-2 and Table 1- 3.
Introduction Model 601 Front Panel 1.5 Model 601 Energy Absorber Front Panel Layout Figure 1-3. Model 601 Front Panel Layout The Fault LED is the only device on the Model 601 front panel. If the Fault LED is not energized, the Model 601 is operating correctly. If the Fault LED is energized, then one or more of the internal energy absorbing elements has malfunctioned or power has been lost to the rear-panel power connector.
Introduction Model 601 Front Panel 1.6 System Specifications @ 25°C Magnet Current Control Range: 0 to +100 A Programming Accuracy: 5 mA Stability: 1 mA after 10 min. at desired current 100 μA/min Minimum Ramp Rate: Maximum Ramp Rate: 10 A/sec Output Voltage 0 to ±5 Vdc Range:...
Quadrants, of System Operation. 1.7.1 Dual-Quadrant Operation In the Model 05100PS-430-601 dual-quadrant Power Supply system, an energy absorber is added in series with the unipolar supply; this allows stored magnetic energy to be converted to thermal energy, thereby allowing much faster magnetic field reduction. This corresponds to operation in quadrants 1 and 4 of Figure 1-4.

Line Losses Current Persistent Magnet Switch Coil(s) Unipolar (optional) Power Supply Current Transducer To Model 430 Energy CURRENT TRANSDUCER Absorber SIGNAL Connector Figure 1-6.
2 Installation Warning Before energizing the equipment, the earth ground of the power receptacle must be verified to be at earth potential and able to carry the rated current of the power circuit. Using extension cords should be avoided; however, if one must be used, ensure the ground conductor is intact and capable of carrying the rated current.
Installation Power Requirements 2.3 Power Requirements Warning The system operates on 50/60 Hz power and may be configured for 100-115 VAC or 200-230 VAC. The power requirement for each system component is marked on the rear panel of the unit adjacent to the power entry connector.
Installation Bipolar High-Stability Supply retain the data even after power is removed from the instrument. An example of the data to be entered and how it is entered is described in section 3.11 on page 76. If the Model 430 Programmer was purchased as part of a magnet system, essential data will have already been entered at the AMI factory and a configuration sheet will have been provided detailing the settings.
Page 35
Installation Bipolar High-Stability Supply Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 16. Ensure the cabling is connected in the following manner: Note The use of locking hardware is recommended for all high-current connections. Caution Do not overtighten the hardware on the interconnection terminals (refer to specifications table on page 9 for torque limits).
Installation Magnets w/o Persistent Switch h. Connect the DB15 analog I/O cable from the PROGRAM OUT connector (14) on the back of the Model 430 Programmer to the DB15 ANALOG I/O connector on the rear of the (20) power supply unit.
Installation Operation on a Short-Circuit For magnet inductance <= 100 Henries (H): Stability Setting = (100 - H) For magnet inductance > 100 Henries: Stability Setting = 0 2.8 Short-Circuit or Resistive Load If operating with a short-circuit as a load without the presence of a superconducting magnet, the Model 430 Programmer must be manually configured for stability.
Installation Power-Up Procedure overcome the 5 Vdc bias. Once the bias is achieved, the series resistance is minimal and the Model 601 appears as a short-circuit. It is not possible to decrease the stability setting to remove the integration time, since once the 5 Vdc bias is achieved, the load is a short-circuit and the system will become unstable.
Page 39
Installation Power-Up Procedure 4. When prompted by the Model 430 Programmer, energize the power supply and press ENTER on the Model 430 Programmer. Note Remember to adjust the programmer voltage limit settings as necessary to account for the additional voltage (5 V) required to operate the system with a Model 601 installed.
Page 40
Installation Power-Up Procedure 12. The system should ramp to 10 A in approximately 10 seconds. Verify this is the case (if a PSwitch is installed and in the cooled state, ramp time to 10 A should be slightly less than 2 seconds). Note With an energy absorber unit is connected, the Model 430 Programmer may take significantly longer to ramp the current to 10...
Page 41
Installation Power-Up Procedure 20. Reset the stability setting and ramp rate of the Model 430 Programmer to an appropriate value for the magnet to be operated. Then turn off the Model 430. 21. Remove the short from the power supply leads and connect the leads to the magnet current leads of the magnet.
Where used to describe voltages, currents, and fields as relate to the Model 05100PS-430-601 Power Supply, the ± should be ignored (considered illustrative only) since the power supply provides only positive (unipolar) current.
Operation Energizing Power Supply System Components Note If turned off, the Model 430 Programmer must remain unpowered for at least 5 seconds before it is powered back on. If not, there may be an initialization error, in which case the following screen will be displayed.
