Abstract

A superconducting property measurement system (SPMS) is used to acquire electrical and thermal properties of short HTS tape samples. The SPMS is composed of a specimen holder for mounting an HTS tape and magnet for applying a magnetic field externally. The magnet consists of two split racetrack windings and is designed to produce maximum 3 T of center field at 20 K. In this paper, an HTS magnet for the SPMS cooled by a cryocooler was designed. A HTS magnet consists of several pancakes winding wound from YBCO CC tape. We report out design for a conduction-cooled magnet using YBCO CC tape. For varying the number of double pancake coils (DPCs) and the bending radius, an electromagnetic field analysis is used. We subsequently find a suitable HTS magnet type for an SPMS. This paper describes the quench protection system for an HTS magnet of the SPMS. The detection of any normal zone must be preceded to protect the HTS magnet. We use simulated protection circuit to estimate the trigger conditions. The presented results in this paper will be verified using fabricated protection circuit.
