Abstract
A magnet configuration comprising a superconducting magnet coil system (M) and a current path (P) which comprises parts of the magnet coil system (M), wherein at least two electric connecting points (A, A, A, A) are disposed on the current path (P), which define a section (P, P, P) within the current path (P), wherein the section (P, P, P) does not comprise all parts of the magnet coil system (M) contained in the current path (P), and comprising a resistive element (W, W, W) having an electric resistance value ≧0, and at least two contacts (K, K, K, K), wherein the contacts (K, K, K, K) are disposed between the resistive element (W, W, W) and one connecting point (A, A, A, A), is characterized in that in the superconducting state of the magnet coil system (M), an electric contact (K, K, K, K) between an electric connecting point (A, A, A, A) and a resistive element (W, W, W) can be closed and opened. The inventive magnet configuration provides quench protection and also effective disturbance compensation.
