HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
We recently proposed a robust REBCO insert coil concept in the framework of a project to upgrade the 25 T CSM magnet at HFLSM with a new REBCO insert to reach 30 T. In this concept, the conductor consists of a two-tape bundle to mitigate the risks posed by local tape degradation. So-called edge impregnation is used to enhance the mechanical stiffness while reducing delamination risk, providing conduction-cooling capability at the same time. This insert is to be protected against the risk of thermal runaway simply by using dump resistor, thanks to an early detection concept. The different ideas forming the robust REBCO insert coil concept were tested successfully on various small scale prototypes. We report here their first implementation on a large-size insert coil, consisting of 20 stacked pancakes from the 30 T CSM upgrade insert. The mechanical behavior of the coil is modelled and validated with experiments. The thermal runaway detection setup is introduced. Its sensitivity and selectivity is discussed based on previous works on thermal runaway scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
