TQC01 protection heater studies by using spot heaters to initiate the quench. TQs Heater Delay & Detection Time • Heater delay time: t ~ 10 ms close to quench plateau;t < 15 ms at I = 62% Issl • Detection time: 3 - 11 ms during TQS01c training • Flux jumps up to 600 mV with MJR cable TQC01 msec TQS01c LQ Quench Protection – G. Ambrosio
MIITs Limit • During TQC01 test, one QI vs. T measurement I: 5000 A , QI: 9.05 MIITs, Peak Temp: 340 K • Impact on quench performance of high-MIITs quenches (TQS01c) • + 4% after 8 MIITs • - 2.9% after 8.1 MIITs • - 7.4% after 8.7 MIITs • - 18.4 after 9.5 MIITs • Small bumps at 7.5 MIITs LQ Quench Protection – G.

MIITs and Voltage at quench current Dump = 60 mWDetection time = 5 ms Heater delay time = 12 ms High MIITs at 1.9K Voltages OK LQ Quench Protection – G. Ambrosio
Needs for LQ QP • Four independent circuits for protection heaters • Change dump resistance at 1.9K? • Easily changeable detection threshold • Develop smart quench detection to avoid spikes with low threshold? • Time • Voltage slope • Spike recognition • Current depending threshold • … LQ Quench Protection – G.
