“…Thereinto, the first and third contact surfaces represent the surfaces between the brass tape and the coated conductor and the second contact surface represents the surface between two brass tapes, as shown in figure 5. Comparing the first contact surface of these two coils, a nearly twofold difference exists in their resistivities, which is attributed to the decrease in the insulator thickness (namely, the insulator becomes softer) [23]. Therefore, in the case of constant total insulator thickness, the double-layer metal-insulation method can enhance the contact resistivity from three aspects: (i) degrading the contact quality within two insulators; (ii) decreasing the insulator thickness; and (iii) increasing the number of contact surfaces; among these, the first is the most influential.…”

“…However, generally, coils with single-layer metal-insulation can barely have both large contact resistivity and strong thermal conductivity. For instance, a coil with copper or brass insulator can acquire a better thermal contact but has a lower contact resistivity below 100 µΩ cm 2 [21,22], and conversely, a stainless steel insulator provides contact resistivity of over several thousands of µΩ cm 2 [23,24] but has a poor thermal conductivity.…”

“…It is concluded that the magnetic behaviors of REBCO magnets in the asynchronous operation should be considered to enhance the prediction accuracy in the I c , which is affected by external RMFs. [24,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. The equivalent circuit of the NI and MI magnets can be expressed by adding the parallel resistance (i.e., the characteristic resistance (R c )), in the equivalent circuit of the insulated magnet.…”

“…Novel electrical insulation winding techniques, such as noinsulation (NI) and metal insulation (MI), in which an insulation material is completely removed between turns and electrically and thermally conductive metals are inserted between turns, respectively, have been proposed to improve the stability of REBCO magnets by solving the stability problem of insulation magnets [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. However, their behaviors under an unsynchronized magnetic field have not yet been studied and reported.…”

“…Moreover, the metal-insulation coil with a thicker insulator possesses a larger critical current, could bring out a higher thermal margin accordingly, and thus promote the thermal stability, which is confirmed by the minimal temperature rise among these selected insulator thicknesses in the overcurrent process. Meanwhile, a thicker insulator can enhance its thermal capacity to absorb more energy from the hot spots as well and further improve the thermal stability of the coils [38]. All in all, for the scene emphasizing thermal stability primarily, a thicker insulator is preferable.…”
