Jh. Schultz et al., SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR THE TOKAMAK PHYSICS EXPERIMENT, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(4), 1994, pp. 2102-2105
The TPX tokamak must protect 30 superconducting magnets during a compl
ex, pulsed physics scenario. 2.0 MA plasma vertical disruptions will o
ccur at unpredictable intervals. These should not cause quench, but wi
ll be difficult to distinguish from quench. A redundant, multiple sign
al protection system combines conventional voltage taps with signals f
rom cowound conductors, pressure and flow sensors.
