Abstract
One of the equilibrium temperature profiles along the conductor is fou nd to be the unstable solution between well-known upper and lower solu tions of the energy balance equation of high temperature superconducti ng (HTS) current leads. The transient behavior of the temperature prof ile of the HTS leads is analyzed by perturbing the unstable equilibriu m temperature profile. The stability of the leads against thermal dist urbances is explained by the use of results of the transient analysis. The stability of ideal gas cooled leads is compared with that of the conduction cooled leads.
