Poloidal Field Power Supply Systems for the HT-7U Steady-State Superconducting Tokamak

The paper gives a description of the poloidal field power supplies and the control system of the HT-7U superconducting tokamak required to energize the magnetic field coils for plasma excitation and confinement. An original configuration of alternating-current/direct-current (dc) converter, thyristor dc circuit breaker, and power supply control system are introduced in detail.
