OverviewThe DXNT series Superconducting Magnet Power Supply by Dexinmag is an all-digital, high-stability bipolar current source engineered for superconducting magnets. It combines a switching pre-regulation stage with a linear regulation latter stage to achieve high efficiency and very low ripple. The series is modular and covers current ranges from 100 A to 1000 A across multiple models.
Key features- Automatic constant-current and constant-voltage control switching, optimized for magnets with large inductance.
- Output polarity detection and bipolar positive/negative current output when reversing switch is connected; negative current settable by user.
- Segmented charging/discharging ramp and per-interval constant-current voltage settings for flexible current profiles.
- Four-quadrant output supporting positive/negative currents and voltages to enable controlled charging and discharging of the magnet.
- Automatic magnet quench detection with external quench input capability.
- Integrated quench discharge control: compatible discharge resistor can be automatically connected to dump energy on quench.
- Local control via 7-inch high-resolution LCD touchscreen with menu interface.
- Remote control via USB (Type B) and LAN (RJ45); RS-485 supported for parallel control of multiple supplies.
- Parallel operation to expand total current; each unit addressable via bus.
- Comprehensive protections monitoring mains, cooling and system state; on-screen fault display and emergency stop with automatic energy discharge connection.
