The Magnet Rundown Unit (MRU) is designed to power the main coil heaters of the GE
superconducting magnets, causing the magnetic field to rapidly decay. Power is removed
from the heater after a preset time period. Internal battery backup is provided together
with test functions to ensure MRU availability.
Optionally, the MRU can be used with a Remote MRU (GE part number 5180187) to
allow remote actuation of the MRU.
This MRU (GE part number 5180313) is backward-compatible with the previous MRU
version (GE part number 46-294231G1). Using an adapter plate (GE part number
5180324), this MRU can be mounted to the wall using the bolt hole pattern for the
previous MRU version.

installation.
The MRU and Remote MRU (if installed) should be mounted outside of any area with a
magnetic field greater than 200 gauss.
8.0 PRE-INSTALLATION
8.01 The MRU batteries are already installed; they were fully charged before leaving the
factory. The charge on the batteries should be verified at 20 V (minimum, with proper
AC supply mains power applied) before any adjustments are made.
8.02 Verify that AC supply mains power of 100-120 V or 200-240 V ±10%, single phase,
50-60 Hz, 85 VA (maximum) is available. MRU's are shipped configured for 100-120
V input.
See the GEHC Myworkshop System to determine the status of this document.
8.03 MRU’s must be permanently installed (hard wired to AC supply mains power). Plastic
electrical conduit must be used for the wiring between the MRU and the AC supply
mains (recommend 1/2” PVC schedule 40). Wire the AC supply mains to the outer two
terminals of TB1 (line to the terminal marked “L” and neutral to the terminal marked
“N”), and protective earth to the center terminal of TB1. A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver is
required to open the front cover.
This MRU (GE part number 5180313) is backward-compatible with the previous MRU
version (GE part number 46-294231G1). Using adapter plate (GE part number 5180324),
this MRU can be mounted to the wall using the bolt hole pattern for the previous MRU
version. The adapter plate can also be used to mount the Remote MRU (GE part number
5180187) if needed.

point +20.7V with respect to test point GND; it should now be between 15 V and
20.7 V. If the MRU batteries have been stored for more than one year without charging, it
may be necessary to wait for up to 8 hours for the voltage to reach 20.7 V.
9.07 Depress and release the MRU RUNDOWN button. Measure the elapsed time until the
RUNDOWN button pops back out; the time must be a minimum of 30 seconds. The red
HEATER ACTUATED LED will light and remain lit until reset with switch S6. Press

When its RUNDOWN pushbutton is depressed, the MRU provides a timed (30 seconds minimum, 50 seconds nominal) 20 V source to
both of the heaters in a GE Superconducting Magnet System. In addition, test circuits are provided to verify battery charger operation, battery
charge condition and magnet heater element resistance limits.
State: RELEASE - Document is released and under formal Change Control. Changes are subject to the ECR/ECO Process.
If the optional Remote MRU is installed, then the timed 20 V source can be provided to the magnet heaters by actuation of the Remote
MRU RUNDOWN pushbutton OR the MRU RUNDOWN pushbutton.
AC supply mains voltage is connected to TB1. This voltage is connected through fuse F1
and switch S3 to transformer T1. S3 configures the T1 input windings for either 100-
120 V or 200-240 V input by connecting the input windings either in parallel (for
100-120 V operation) or in series (for 200-240 V operation). Varistors RV1 and RV2
provide protection against input voltage transients and surges. A full wave rectifier CR4
and capacitor C1 provide filtered DC voltage to U3, an LM350T linear regulator, and to
U2, an LM317T linear regulator. U3, in conjunction with resistors R6 and R10, pro-
vides a 20.95 V output; this output provides voltage to magnet heaters (through
CR14) in the event of a battery failure. U2, in conjunction with R4, provides a current-
limited input (700 mA nominal) to U1, an LM317T linear regulator. U1, in conjunction
with R1, R2 and R3, provides a 20.7 V output for charging the battery assembly.
Diodes CR2 and CR1 provide transient and reverse polarity protection. R3 is adjusted to
set the float charge on the battery assembly to 20.7 V. DS1 provides a continuous
indication of regulator output with isolation provided by diode CR3 to prevent lamp
indication with AC supply mains input or regulator failure. Diodes CR13 and CR14
isolate the battery voltage from the 20.95 V output from U3, allowing power to be

supplied to the magnet heaters if either the 20.95 V output has failed or the batteries
have failed.
During the BATTERY TEST function, a 15 ohm test load is switched across the battery
(resistors R7 and R9 in parallel) by switch S1, and the regulator is disabled by the second
half of S1 to ensure that the battery is the only source of power.
During the BATTERY TEST function, S1 also applies an input via R27 to a comparator
circuit consisting of 1/4 of U4 and associated components. U5 provides a reference
voltage which, in conjunction with voltage divider resistors R26, R27 and R28,
See the GEHC Myworkshop System to determine the status of this document.
Two other sections of U4 are used to sense upper and lower limit heater resistance during
the HEATER TEST mode. Pressing S2 to either the A or B position allows
approximately 3.7mA to flow from the battery through R5 and the heater element under
test. The magnet heater element becomes part of a voltage divider network consisting of
R5, the magnet heater element resistance, R16, R21 and R22. R17 and R8 constitute
another voltage divider network; R8 is adjusted to set a 12 ohm lower limit for the
magnet heater element resistance. R19, R23 and R20 constitute a third voltage divider
network; R20 is adjusted to set a 32 ohm upper limit for the magnet heater element
resistance. If the heater resistance is between 12 ohms and 32 ohms, the HEATER TEST
LED will light. Since this is a critical test, a switch, S5, is provided to TEST HEATER
LED. R12, R13, R14, R15, C4 and C5 provide low pass filtering and transient protection.
Actuation of the covered push-button RUNDOWN circuit breaker energizes both magnet
heater elements by resetting the thermally timed circuit breaker. The 100mA rated
sensing element passes approximately 170 mA for a nominal 50 seconds, after which
time the circuit breaker opens, interrupting current flow through the heaters. The current
drawn through the circuit breaker heating element is set by resistor R34 and the circuit
breaker internal sensing element resistance. While the circuit breaker is actuated (for 50
seconds nominally), it switches the 20.7 V to the magnet heaters through diodes CR8
and CR9. Diodes CR8 and CR9 isolate the two magnet heaters, so that a failure in either
heater will not prevent the other heater from being heated. The 20.7 V switched by
the circuit breaker also provides current to the gate of SCR SCR1 through CR11 and R34.
Diodes CR6 and CR11 allow the SCR to be latched by either the MRU circuit breaker or
the Remote MRU circuit breaker (via K1). When gate current is provided to SCR SCR1,
it latches, causing the red LED marked HEATER ACTUATED to light and stay lit; it
will also be latched if the HEATER TEST switch is activated and the heater circuits are
open. Resistor R18 and capacitors C9 and C10 damp and filter the input to the SCR gate,
to prevent the SCR from being latched by noise. Switch S6, resets the SCR by
State: RELEASE - Document is released and under formal Change Control. Changes are subject to the ECR/ECO Process.
If the optional Remote MRU is installed, then the magnet heater elements can be
energized by actuating a covered push-button RUNDOWN circuit breaker at the Remote
MRU. When the Remote MRU circuit breaker is actuated, the 100mA rated sensing
element passes approximately 170 mA for a nominal 50 seconds, after which time the
circuit breaker opens, interrupting current flow through the heaters. The current drawn
through the circuit breaker heating element is set by resistor R3 and the circuit breaker
internal sensing element resistance. While the Remote MRU circuit breaker is actuated
(for 50 seconds nominally), it switches the 20.7 V from the MRU to the input of U6
