M. Hara et al., INSULATION DESIGN OF POOL-BOILING HE-COOLED SUPERCONDUCTING COILS - COILS PARAMETERS AFFECTING INSULATION SPACING, IEEE transactions on dielectrics and electrical insulation, 4(6), 1997, pp. 792-799
An insulation design procedure for sc (superconducting) coils for elec
tric power apparatus is proposed and applied to a small scale SMES (su
perconducting magnetic energy storage system) consisting of two module
s of pool-boiling helium-cooled sc coils. Coil operation parameters af
fecting insulation spaces-are discussed on the basis of an estimated t
ime dependent ratio of insulation withstand voltage to induced voltage
for different quenching states according to the proposed procedure.
