Winding mandrel design for the wide cable SSC dipole.

摘要

The 50 mm coil i.d. SSC dipole magnets use wider cables to give a greater operational margin between quench field and operating field. The cable used for the inner coil has 30 strands of the same size (0.808 mm) instead of 23 and the outer has 36 strands of the same size (0.648 mm) instead of 30 and the cable widths are increased in proportion. Although the coil inner diameter has been increased from 40 mm, the coil ends are noticeably harder to wind. This report describes the computational and experimental effort to design winding mandrels or center posts for the constant-perimeter ends. 1 ref., 2 figs., 2 tabs. (ERA citation 16:001053)
