Abstract
The superconducting magnet which is installed on a maglev vehicle suffers a disturbance of magnetic fluctuation from the ground coils. This magnetic disturbance has a frequency widely ranging from 0Hz to several hundred Hz which is proportional to the speed of maglev vehicle. We constructed the facilities which can simulate an actual electro-magnetic disturbance on the magnet in running and exercised electro-magnetic vibrating tests. It was revealed that an extreme increase of heat load on the inner vessel of the energized magnet was caused at a particular frequency. The initial amount of the heat load in these phenomena surpassed the capacity of the refrigerator installed in the tank of the superconducting magnet. So we have investigated into the causes of these phenomena and performed an experiment for confirming the effect of the improvement in a new setup. As a result, we could identify broadly three factors of heating and now we have good prospects of largely suppressing the heating by reducing the disturbance through the folded arrangement of the ground coils and structural improvement of the magnet. This paper describes the heating phenomena of a magnet under the electro-magnetic disturbance and the improvement for suppressing them as well as the historical background of maglev development.
