Techniques are providing for mitigating overcurrents in superconducting magnets by adding a closed loop of superconductor to the magnet that acts as an electromagnetic shield. A time-varying external magnetic field may induce a current in the closed loop, thereby generating a magnetic field that opposes the external magnetic field, and reducing the amount of current induced by the external magnetic field in the primary current-carrying superconductor of the magnet. As a result, the effect of overcurrents can be reduced or removed.
