  SOLEIL prepares a new 65 mm period Electromagnetic/Permanent Magnets Helical Undulator (EMPHU), with a rapid switching at 5 Hz of the polarization required for dichroïsm experiments. The vertical field Bz is produced by coils fed by a fast switching power supply (designed and built in house), with a maximum current of 350 A and a polarity switching time shorter than 100 ms. The coils consist of 25 stacked copper layers shaped by water jet cutting. The current flows in 16 layers and 9 of them are cooled with thermal drain to a water piping. 4 additional power supplies feed 2 types of correction coils for the dynamic compensation of the field integrals, besides the ones for the termination. 1.28 T remanence NdFeB permanent magnets generate the horizontal field Bx. Peak Bz and Bx in the helical configuration reach 0.24 T at 14.7 mm minimum gap. Thermal modelling and measurements aim at keeping the magnet temperature constant. The static magnetic configuration was optimised using the IDBuilder software and the trajectory were checked for insuring a good reproducibility of the photon beam pointing when sweeping from one helicity to the other.
