Abstract
One of the trends of Nuclotron development lies in modifying the power supply system and upgrading the energy evacuation system of structural magnets in order to provide reliable durable operation of the synchrotron at a dipole magnet field level of 2 T. This is necessary for Nuclotron operation as part of the injection chain of the heavy-ion NICA collider under design at JINR and for the current program of physical studies. The principles of construction and specific features of the existing system based on a separate power supply of structural dipole and quadrupole magnetic elements are considered. The main provisions of the upgrade of the power supply system, structural and schematic diagrams, control schemes, and energy evacuation switch schemes from superconducting elements are presented.
