Abstract :
An analysis of the discharge of the barrel toroid and end cap toroids with different protection circuits has been carried out in order to verify the possibility of a new simplified and cheaper configuration of the components of the circuit. In the study also the presence of short circuits has been considered. The comparison of the results and the analysis of the advantages and risks of the different configurations should allow the choice of the best solution for the economy and safety of the toroids
