Improvements in the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) Main Magnet Coil Protection

Two main coil failures in a one-year period initiated a review of on-line protective circuitry. Two existing circuits, which would limit damage, were made more reliable. Four new circuits were added to monitor coil condition and protect against voltage transients.
