  • DEVICE AND METHOD OF MEASURING ELECTRICAL DISSIPATION IN A SUPERCONDUCTING COIL
    Publication number: 20110152102
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for measuring electrical dissipation in a coil wound with superconducting wire or tape are disclosed. The superconducting coil may include one or more superconducting wires wound together with a witness winding. The one or more superconducting wires may be electrically connected to the witness winding. The one or more superconducting wires may be shaped as a tape. The witness winding may be a tape. The superconducting coil may be wound into a flat pancake structure. The witness winding may be configured to detect a quench in the one or more superconducting wires, which may otherwise interfere with the superconductivity of the one or more superconducting wires.
