Abstract

A permanent current switch apparatus according to an embodiment is a permanent current switch apparatus electrically connected to a superconducting coil via a superconducting wire, the permanent current switch apparatus including a plurality of parallel structures with thermal permanent current switches connected in parallel, the thermal permanent current switches being capable of switching between conducting and interrupting an electric current flowing through the superconducting wire. The parallel structures are connected in series.
