Investigation of Heater Induced Quenches in a Full Length SSC \& Dipole

OSTI ID:1898769
A 17-m-long SSC R&D dipole magnet instrumented with quench heaters and numerous voltage taps has been tested. These voltage taps enable (1) accurate localization of the quench start, (2) detailed studies of quench development, and (3) determination of coil temperature rise during a quench. The hot-spot temperature is determined by measuring the resistance of the conductor in the vicinity of the heater and is plotted versus number of MIITs. Measured temperatures are found to be in good agreement with predictions based on the assumption that the conductor is heated adiabatically. Finally, a limit to be imposed on the number of MIITs to operate the magnet safely is determined.
