Abstract

Two constraints on semi-continuous magnet coils are the strength of the winding material, and the maximum power which the rectifier must deliver for a short time. Here we assume that for a 60-T coil wire of sufficient strength (about 100 kg/mm 2 is available. It was shown earlier that a single, homogeneous coil needs a power of nearly 150 MW, which calls for huge capital investments in power lines, transformers, switches and rectifiers. By using two nested coils, wound from wires with different strengths and current densities, and energized successively by the same rectifier, we can reduce the power to less than 50 MW.
