For research in the highest continuous and pulsed magnetic fields large, complex and powerful installations are needed. This paper describes the new 20 MW installation for continuous high magnetic fields that has been built at the University of Nijmegen. The ultra-low ripple power converter provides the capability to perform experiments up to 33 T with resistive magnets (up to 40 T with the hybrid magnet system under construction) and will be of great value for investigations in physics, chemistry and biology at the forefront of fundamental and applied research. Typically during experiments, the magnetic field is slowly varied or held constant for a period lasting from a few minutes to an hour. The cooling installation is designed to allow uninterrupted operation at maximum power for 3 hours, and when the magnetic field is being swept between zero and full field the cooling plant does not pose limits to the operation. When much higher fields are required, there is the option to go to pulsed magnetic fields with duration in the tens of milliseconds.
