Design and calibration of B-dot monitor for several mega-ampere current measurement
-
摘要: 为获得聚龙一号装置负载区电流,设计了测量探头,通过频响测试得到探头的频率上限为51.7 MHz;针对标定装置的逼真性进行了分析,实验结果表明,负载区电流探头的灵敏度在误差范围内不受柱孔盘旋面的影响。通过标定结果的外推分析可知:外推是否可靠是由探头能否满足相应测量的工作条件决定,而不是受外推的数量级限制。通过探头测量范围的分析及相应干扰实验,认为标定满足测试需求。实测结果表明负载区电流与磁绝缘传输线电流的测量结果自洽。Abstract: Differential-output current loops (B-dot probes) were designed and calibrated to derive inner-MITL current in the PTS facility. The B-dots upper limiting frequency was 51.7 MHz in frequency response experiments, which was satisfactory for current measurement in our experiments. The B-dots were calibrated using a radial transmission line that was driven by an azimuthally symmetric current pulse. And then the B-dots were calibrated using a radial transmission line with a post-hole convolute feeding structure. The result indicates that the sensitivity of B-dots are consistent in the two calibration systems. The interference test and experiments with variable peak currents were performed to focus on B-dot linearity, and insulation, pressure exerted by magnetic fields, energy absorbing and related temperature rise of B-dot were analyzed in order to assess the validity of B-dot calibration. The results imply that the B-dots are valid for several mega-ampere current measurements. Also, it shows that outer-MITL current and inner-MITL current are self-consistent in PTS experiment.
