1. Pain Points & Solutions

Modern research labs and R&D teams often struggle with magnet power supplies that are not up to the task. Here are some common pain points and how Cryomagtech addresses them:

  • Problem: Unstable current and high ripple lead to inconsistent magnetic fields and unreliable data. Solution: Our power supplies feature ultra-low ripple (≤1 mA) and drift as low as 5 ppm/hour, keeping your magnetic field rock-solid for more accurate results.
  • Problem: Standard supplies can’t smoothly handle bipolar or zero-crossing currents, causing dangerous overshoots or manual polarity swaps. Solution: Cryomagtech supplies offer true four-quadrant bipolar output, allowing seamless current reversal through zero with no spikes. You get smooth, continuous magnetization and demagnetization without intervention.
  • Problem: Large inductive magnets risk coil damage from quenches or power failures, and many supplies lack adequate protection. Solution: Our systems include comprehensive protection: automatic quench detection, emergency energy dump circuits, overcurrent/overheat shutdown, and power-failure energy absorption – all to safeguard your superconducting coils and electromagnets.
  • Problem: It’s difficult to control field strength precisely or automate complex current ramps with basic power sources. Solution: Cryomagtech integrates closed-loop feedback (with optional built-in gaussmeter) so you can set field intensity directly. Programmable ramp profiles and USB/LAN remote control let you automate multi-segment charging, sweeps, and experiments with ease.

Superconducting Magnet Power Supply Series Highlights

Superconducting Series Highlights: The SP Series is built for superconducting magnet systems and other high-current applications. Each model utilizes a hybrid power topology – a switching pre-regulator and a linear final stage – to achieve high efficiency and ultra-low noise at currents up to 1000 A. Key features include automatic constant-voltage to constant-current transition (critical for large inductive loads), intelligent polarity reversal (set a negative current and the supply handles reversing switch operation automatically), and multi-segment programmable ramps for safe charging/discharging of superconducting coils. All SP units support parallel operation (via RS-485) for even higher current needs, and come standard with both USB and LAN interfaces for control and monitoring. Front-panel touchscreen displays give real-time readouts of current, voltage, and magnet voltage, while built-in quench detection and external interlock inputs provide peace of mind when energizing superconducting magnets. (Note: SP120 and SP240 operate on single-phase 220V; higher models require 3-phase 380V input.)

    8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Q1: What is an “excitation power supply” and how is it different from a regular power supply?

    A: An excitation power supply is a specialized constant-current power source designed to drive electromagnets or superconducting magnet coils. Unlike general-purpose DC supplies, it provides extremely stable current (even as the load inductance or resistance changes) and often allows bipolar output (both positive and negative current). It typically includes features like 4-quadrant operation (sourcing and sinking current), smooth zero-crossing, and magnet protection circuits. In short, it’s purpose-built to precisely control magnetic fields without the drift, noise, or overshoot that standard supplies might exhibit.

    Q2: How do I choose between the High Precision series and the Superconducting Magnet series?

    A: It depends on your current and application requirements. The High Precision Excitation Power Supply series (models P5–P120) is ideal for applications up to ~120 A and 0.5–15 kW – such as conventional electromagnets, Helmholtz coils, and smaller magnet setups. They excel in bench-top experiments and medium-sized magnetic systems, offering very fine control and an optional closed-loop field feedback mode. The Superconducting Magnet Power Supply (SP series) is designed for high-current, low-voltage output (120 A up to 1000 A) needed by large superconducting magnets and high-field systems. The SP series has specialized features like automatic constant-voltage/current switching and energy dump for quenches. If your project involves a superconducting magnet or requires hundreds of amps, go with the SP series; for lower current but ultra-high precision needs, the High Precision series is the better fit. Our team can also help advise on the best choice for your scenario.

    Q3: Can these power supplies operate continuously? What about cooling requirements?

    A: Yes, all Cryomagtech supplies are designed for 24/7 continuous operation under their rated conditions. Cooling requirements vary by model: our lower-current High Precision units use quiet air cooling, while the higher-power models (and all SP series supplies) come with either enhanced air cooling or water cooling to dissipate heat. For example, a 120A or larger unit will typically use water cooling (with a specified flow rate, e.g., 3 L/min) to maintain stable temperatures during long runs. Proper cooling ensures the output stability and longevity of the system. We provide clear guidelines for installation (e.g., radiator or chiller specifications for water-cooled models) and the supplies have built-in over-temperature protection as a safety net.

    Q4: What safety features are included to protect my magnet and system?

    A: Cryomagtech excitation power supplies include a full set of safety mechanisms designed for both electromagnets and superconducting magnet systems. Key protections include quench detection, which automatically cuts output and triggers an energy-dump circuit to safely dissipate stored energy during a quench. Overcurrent and overvoltage protection continuously monitor output and prevent damage by limiting or shutting down the supply when limits are exceeded. An interlock-controlled polarity reversal ensures safe switching for superconducting magnets. Over-temperature and power-loss protection safeguard internal components, allowing the supply to absorb inductive energy during shutdown. An integrated Emergency Stop button provides immediate manual cutoff. These features work together to protect your magnet and ensure safe, reliable operation.

    Q5: Is remote control and automation possible?

    A: Absolutely. Both series support remote operation. Each unit is equipped with communication interfaces – typically USB, LAN (Ethernet), and in some cases RS-232 or RS-485. We provide a simple PC control software for basic operation, and also offer a full command set/protocol so you can integrate the power supply into your own control systems or LabVIEW/Python programs. You can read current/voltage data in real time, set targets, configure ramp rates, and even log data remotely. This makes it easy to automate experiments or control the supply as part of a larger system. Many users, for example, run automated magnetic field scans by programming current sweeps via the LAN interface. Our support team can assist with API documentation and examples to get you started quickly.

    Q6: What is the lead time and what kind of support can we expect after purchase?

    A: For standard models, lead times are typically 4–6 weeks (we calibrate and burn-in each unit before shipment). Custom configurations may require slightly more time. We ship internationally with full insurance and handle export documentation for you. After purchase, you can count on ongoing support from Cryomagtech. We offer a 1-year standard warranty on all our excitation power supplies. During the warranty, any issues are resolved promptly – usually via remote troubleshooting or sending replacement parts/components. We also provide lifetime technical support: even beyond the warranty, you can contact us anytime for advice or service options. Our global support network means you’ll get a response within one business day (often much sooner). Additionally, we have detailed user manuals, application notes, and an online knowledge base to help you get the most out of your power supply. Your success and satisfaction are our ultimate goals.
