Hello,
Interestingly enough, I was talking to someone on MRI coils. Anyways he explained that to turn the superconducting coil off you must match the coils current with external supply and slowly reduce the current until it reaches zero. Now MRI coils at 1.5T use up to 700 AMPS! If I match the coils current with an external supply and slowly turn it down, how does the coil turn off while still being connected to the main power supply?
Thanks,
limited knowledge on this
