Room temperature pulsed magnet setup with a view to create 20 T facility at 77 K in future

Extremely high magnetic fields up to 30 - 90T have been possible with pulsed magnet technique. This paper describes the challenge of handling high energy and fast measuring electronics for developing pulsed field setups. Following the basic design equations a room temperature pulsed magnet has been designed and experimentally tested for 1T and results are discussed. Fast read out electronics has also been developed for measurements in pulsed fields. A pulsed magnet of energy 8.6 kJ has been worked out to produce 20T field for 10ms at 77 K. The current required to generate 20T field is around 8.85 kA. A 60 mF capacitor bank, which can be charged with a 535 V DC supply, is required to store the energy.
