Abstract

This paper presents the developed quench analysis code and protection circuit design for a superconducting magnet system of 28GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. The superconducting magnet is composed of a hexapole magnet and four solenoid magnets located outside of the hexapole one. All magnets are wound with NbTi composite wire and impregnated by epoxy. By using the developed characteristic analysis code, the normal zone resistance, decaying current and temperature rising can be estimated during quench. Also, the stored magnetic energy is successfully consumed from the series resistor of the designed protection circuit. The analytical results are compared with the experimental results to verify the developed quench analysis code and protection circuit.
