Abstract
A superconducting magnet () includes a cryogenic container () containing a superconducting magnet winding (). A sealed electrical feedthrough () passes through the cryogenic container. A contactor () inside the cryogenic container has an actuator () and feedthrough-side and magnet-side electrical terminals (). A high temperature superconductor (HTS) lead () also disposed in the cryogenic container has a first end () electrically connected with the magnet-side electrical terminal of the contactor and a second end () electrically connected to the superconducting magnet winding. A first stage thermal station () thermally connected with the first end of the HTS lead has a temperature (T) lower than the critical temperature (TC,HTS) of the HTS lead. A second stage thermal station () thermally connected with the second end of the HTS lead has a temperature (T) lower than a critical temperature (TC) of the superconducting magnet winding ().
