Abstract
A new superconducting power supply able to operate directly from the mains voltage at a frequency of 50-60 Hz is under development in our institutes. It will be applied to power a separator magnet for iron ore recycling. The supply consists of a full wave superconducting converter, a `cold' protection system, and control and measuring units. Typical design values of the device are: output current of 1-2 kA, voltage of 1-0.5 V; input current of 7 A, voltage of 220 V and frequency of 50 Hz; an efficiency better than 96%. The high current part of the supply finally will be placed in the same cryostat as the separator magnet. The basic concept of the device is presented in the paper
