The estimate is based on the preliminary magnet design provided by B. Lundberg. The required magnetic field induction in the winding carrying toroid leg is specified as an initial condition. Based on the cross section areas of the toroid legs the induction in all four toroid legs can be calculated. The particular type of steel which will be used is unknown so they used the curve on Fig. 2 for the most wide spread steels to obtain a field strength in the steel. The number of steel plates and accordingly the resulting technological air gap are unknown, therefore the calculation for two different gaps .25 mm and 2.5 mm were preformed. Results of the power consumption calculations for the proposed toroid spoiler magnet for different magnetic field induction values and two different air gaps are given. Operating costs for running the magnet are also given.
