The CERN current calibrator: A new type of instrument

The LHC accelerator project will require an accuracy of similar to 10**-**6 in the control of current to the superconducting magnets. A new infrastructure for high current calibration is being created, based on DC current reference standards. This paper describes the design of a device generating an...

Sumario:The LHC accelerator project will require an accuracy of similar to 10**-**6 in the control of current to the superconducting magnets. A new infrastructure for high current calibration is being created, based on DC current reference standards. This paper describes the design of a device generating an output current from 0 to plus or minus 10A with the required accuracy. 3 Refs.
