Abstract

A superconducting magnet device includes a plurality of superconducting coil excitation circuits which each include a superconducting coil and an exciting power supply thereof and are operable independently of each other, a plurality of quenching detectors each of which detects quenching of the superconducting coil of a corresponding superconducting coil excitation circuit, and a controller that, when at least one of the plurality of quenching detectors detects the quenching, controls the exciting power supply of a superconducting coil excitation circuit in which the quenching is not detected among the plurality of superconducting coil excitation circuits to demagnetize the superconducting coil of that superconducting coil excitation circuit.

Claims (6)

1 . A superconducting magnet device comprising:

a plurality of superconducting coil excitation circuits which each include a superconducting coil and an exciting power supply thereof and are operable independently of each other;

a plurality of quenching detectors each of which detects quenching of the superconducting coil of a corresponding superconducting coil excitation circuit; and

a controller that, when at least one of the plurality of quenching detectors detects the quenching, controls the exciting power supply of a superconducting coil excitation circuit in which the quenching is not detected among the plurality of superconducting coil excitation circuits to demagnetize the superconducting coil of that superconducting coil excitation circuit.

2 . The superconducting magnet device according to claim 1 , wherein

each superconducting coil excitation circuit includes a pair of superconducting coils disposed to face each other.
