Practical issues for two distinct coil designs for Maglev are considered. Comparisons are made between designs with NbTi conductor in liquid helium pool boiling, and a Nb[sub 3]Sn cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) with forced flow. The issues considered include stability, vibrations induced by its interaction with guideway coils, reliability, heat sink, safety, manufacturability and the magnets' interface to the on-board cryosystem. Results of the study are reported listing the advantages and disadvantages of each design as they relate to the overall Maglev vehicle and guideway system.
