Quench propagation was studied in a small bifilar coil wound from YBCO tape. Measurements were made at 77 K in self-field and at 4.2 K with an applied field. The velocity of quench propagation at 4.2 K was observed to be about an order of magnitude faster than at 77 K both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. During the course of this experiment the conductor damage limit characterized by ∫I2dt was also estimated. Details of the experiment and results are presented in this paper
