The superconducting magnets (SCM) of electromagnetic vibration apparatus for MAGLEV ground coils operate in a persistent current mode for long periods of time. In addition, almost all of the time, the current lead of the SCM acts as a route for heat leak to the inside; therefore, the authors have developed low-heat-load current lead equipment. This equipment consists of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) lead and the low-duty metallic lead allows the SCM to magnetize and demagnetize without a gas cooling system. This realizes a simplification of work procedure and reliable operations for magnetizing and demagnetizing the SCM. This result is also valuable for further improving the SCM of the MAGLEV vehicle.
