Figure 7.23: Feshbach coil H-bridge circuit. Us<strong>in</strong>g the H-bridge driver either MOSFETs<br />
A <strong>and</strong> D, or MOSFETs B <strong>and</strong> C open simultaneously, allow<strong>in</strong>g the reversal of the current<br />
through the second Feshbach coil. Each MOSFET symbol represents 10 MOSFETs wired<br />
<strong>in</strong> parallel.<br />
For safety reasons an <strong>in</strong>terlock system is <strong>in</strong>stalled. As with all of the <strong>in</strong>terlocks<br />
it is based on the Ardu<strong>in</strong>o micro-controller. This <strong>in</strong>terlock ensures that the Feshbach<br />
coils are not cont<strong>in</strong>ously run above a current of 50 A. Below this current no significant<br />
temperature <strong>in</strong>crease was measured <strong>and</strong> it is therefore not necessary <strong>to</strong> limit the time<br />
the coils are runn<strong>in</strong>g below 50 A. Above a current of 100 A the <strong>in</strong>terlock turns off the<br />
current after 10 s. If the current is between 50 A <strong>and</strong> 100 A the <strong>in</strong>terlock turns off the<br />
current after 20 s. The <strong>in</strong>terlock also moni<strong>to</strong>rs the cool<strong>in</strong>g water temperature <strong>and</strong> the<br />
water flow.<br />
