Superconducting insertion devices (IDs) are very attractive for synchrotron light sources since they offer the possibility to enhance the tuning range and functionality significantly by period length switching. Period length switching can be realized by employing two or more individually powerable subsets of superconducting coils and reverse the current in a part of the winding. So far, the first demonstration mock-up coil allowing period length tripling was fabricated and tested successfully (A. Grau et al., accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity). Here, we report on the feasibility of a superconducting switch implemented as proposed by A. Madur et al., Proc. of the 10th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation 2009, Melbourne, Australia.
