The steadily increasing demand from the particle physics community for higher beam energies and higher integrated beam luminosity has reinforced the necessity for new accelerator equipment, frequently breaking with conventional technologies. One of the fields where new and innovative engineering is required and where interesting developments are ongoing, is the domain of fast switching of high DC...
More than 600 DC opening switches assure the role of energy extraction in the powering circuits of the bipolar, superconducting beam corrector magnet chains in the LHC collider at CERN. Although the operational experience from several years of extensive use has proven the high reliability of the electro-mechanical breakers, their relatively high need for regular, preventive maintenance and subtle...
