Performance Test of a Metal Insulated HTS Magnet with Conduction Cooling
2017
In the fabrication and operation of an HTS magnet, ensuring thermal stability against uneven quench is the most important factor. A sample HTS magnet was designed and fabricated with the metal insulation (MI) method and its fundamental characteristic analysis was conducted under the liquid nitrogen cooling system. On the basis of the electromagnetic analysis results, the thermal and mechanical structural design and detailed experimental analysis of the MI HTS magnet under the conduction cooling condition were performed in this paper. The conduction cooling condition was achieved using the 1st stage GM cryo-cooler. The characteristic resistances and the charging and discharging times of the magnet were measured according to the operating temperature of 32 K of the HTS magnet. The long-term current flowing test was conducted by monitoring the coil temperatures. In addition, the thermal stability of the HTS magnet was analyzed when the over current flowed into the magnet. The test results will be applied to the large size HTS MI magnet.
