Abstract

The 12.6 MJ capacitor bank power supply system of the Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center (WHMFC) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) consists of 11 independent 1 MJ modules and 2 independent 0.8 MJ modules; it was tested and put into operation in October 2010. The capacitor bank power supply system connects to 8 measurement cells through three current collectors and four selectors. A number of nondestructive magnets for different bore sizes and peak fields have been energized by this system, including an 83 T dual stage magnet. The results of tests and operation are presented in this paper.
