may be set to any value between 0.1 and 10 A/sec. The value can be

set by using either the numeric keypad per section 3.3 on page 27

or the fine adjust knob (section 3.4 on page 28). The default is 10 A/

sec unless preset by AMI to match a specific superconducting

magnet system.

3.10.2.12 PSwitch Cooling Gain

The default cooling gain of 0.0% may be adequate for the majority

of wet persistent switches. However, this setting may result in

some magnet drift during persistent switch cooling, especially with

conduction cooled switches. Increasing the cooling gain adds control

loop gain during the switch cooling cycle. Too little may result in

magnet drift during switch cooling. Too much may result in power

supply instability during switch cooling, which could potentially

prevent the switch from cooling. Most systems requiring some

cooling gain to control magnet drift will likely work with value set

to about 25%. The value can be set by using either the numeric

keypad per section 3.3 on page 27 or the fine adjust knob

(section 3.4 on page 28).

3.10.2.13 Enable Quench Detect

The internal quench detection function of the Model 430

Programmer may be enabled or disabled according to the

preference of the user. The default value is NO.

A user input for external quench detection is provided on the rear

panel of the Model 430 Programmer

1

. The external input overrides

the internal quench detection function of the Model 430 and cannot

be disabled. For further discussion of the quench detection logic

and operation, please refer to section 3.15 on page 88.
