EFFECT OF STRAND DIAMETER ON THE STABILITY OF THE CABLE-IN-CONDUIT CONDUCTOR

Effect of strand diameter on the stability of the cable-in-conduit typ e superconductor was investigated experimentally. The cable-in-conduit type conductor is widely adopted in the design of large superconducti ng magnets and its properties have been studied. Present experiment wa s planned and performed to clarify the relation between the stability and the strand diameter or cooling perimeter. As a result of a series of present experiment, it was confirmed that the recovery capacity of the cable-in-conduit type superconductor from the normal transition wa s in proportion to the cooling perimeter of the cable.
