In this paper, we report preliminary results of our on-going effort to develop a superconducting persistent-current switch (PCS) for REBCO pancake coils that will be operated in liquid helium. In the first part of this paper, we briefly describe experimental results of our PCS operated in the temperature range 77–57 K, i.e., liquid- and solid-nitrogen environments. The rest we devote to a new PCS heater design in which we target a heating power of $<$1 W in liquid helium.
