Abstract
In the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR), quench detection system using central difference averaging (CDA) and mutual inductance compensation (MIK) for central solenoid (CS) magnet has been studied. Similar to the cowound voltage taps, it is expected that this method can provide the good capability of rejecting inductive voltage noise. Accordingly, CDA and MIK method could be considered as a promising way. For this method to be an effective way, the inductive voltages should be accurately estimated, and then the measured CDA voltages are compared with the estimated ones. In previous studies, CS and poloidal field (PF) coils were modeled as the ideal solenoids to calculate mutual inductances between them. However, the nonlinearity of inductances due to Incoloy-908 jackets of PF1-PF5 coils that are ferromagnetic materials still needs to be compensated for more accurate estimation of inductive voltages. In this paper, the inductive voltages were estimated by considering the ferromagnetic effect of Incoloy-908 jackets to compensate the error voltages. Based on this study, the effect of Incoloy-908 on accuracy and reliability of CDA and MIK quench detection scheme was analyzed and discussed.
