DOI: 10.1088/1361-6668/adba9a
Abstract: High-Tc superconducting (HTS) transformer-rectifier flux pumps (TRFPs) normally have higher efficiency and better controllability than their travelling-wave based counterparts. However, the majority of existing TRFPs require separate activation of the transformer and switch(es), which may… read more here.
