CS4-Series Bipolar Power Supplies for Superconducting Magnets

Please note the ±5V output versions have been discontinued (CS4-20/5V, CS4-50/5V, and CS4-100/5V). All CS4 power supply units now have ±10 Volt output.


    Features include:

  • All Model CS4-10V versions are CE-Marked, fully meeting the requirements for importation into the European Union.
  • True Bipolar Operation with smooth sweeps through zero.
  • Automated ramp with variable sweep rate settings.
  • Flexible computer control via the standard RS-232 interface (IEEE-488.2 available).
  • LabVIEW® drivers available at no extra charge.

The second generation of Cryomagnetics' CS4-Series Superconducting Magnet Power Supplies keeps the popular user interface while redesigned control circuitry using the latest technology improves stability and reliability. All 10 volt CS4 power supplies are CE-marked, insuring compatibility with customers worldwide.

The CS4-Series offers true bipolar operation with smooth sweeps through zero. Advanced circuitry design provides a low–noise output.

RS-232 computer interfacing is standard and IEEE-488.2 is optional. LabVIEW® drivers are available at no additional charge. Click here to download LabVIEW® drivers for the CS4-series.

The bright alphanumeric display indicates real time output current (or magnetic field) and voltage in a large font that is easy to read – even from across a room. The vacuum fluorescent display is visually pleasing, may be read from virtually any angle, and is far superior to backlit LCD alphanumeric displays offered by competing units.

Other power supply functions such as current limit, voltage limit, persistent switch power supply status, and sweep status are also simultaneously displayed.

CS-4 Menu In this menu, different ramp rates may be set over different ranges. Note the real time output current and voltage output as well as the sweep direction is displayed at the top.

Since Cryomagnetics is a leading manufacturer of superconducting magnets, the CS4-Series has been extensively tested. Superconducting magnets of various inductances and stored energies have all been successfully operated.

Safety concerns during a magnet quench have been addressed by the quench detection and protection circuitry. If input power is lost during magnet sweeps, the magnet itself will become the CS4's input power and allow the supply to safely ramp down current.

Precision output current and feedback circuitry insure stability – even on very high inductance superconducting magnets. Stability is a problem on less sophisticated power supplies, especially on superconducting magnets without persistent mode switches. Simple, intuitive menus make these power supplies easy to operate. Convenient features such as an automated ramp using different sweep rates is standard. The CS4-series is capable of driving the most complex systems, yet it is easy to operate.
