Powering the superconducting magnets of the LHC arcs and long straight sections is performed with more than 1000 electrical terminals supplying currents ranging from 120 A to 13'000 A and distributed in 44 cryogenic electrical feedboxes (DFB). Where space in the LHC tunnel is sufficient, the magnets are powered by locally installed cryogenic electrical feedboxes. Where there is no space for a DFB, the current will be supplied to the magnets by superconducting links (DSL) connecting the DFBs to the magnets on distances varying from 76 m to 510 m.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
