2.4.2.7 Quench detection<br />
A single superferric magnet is self-protecting. This means that if it is short-circuited with a superconducting<br />
bypass, it does not need any external protection. In case of quench, the magnetic<br />
energy will be used to heat up the coil. If all the magnetic energy is converted as heat at the end of<br />
the quench, when the current is null, the maximum temperature Tmax would be between 250 and<br />
350 K. To avoid too large thermal stresses accompanied with such temperatures may destabilize<br />
the coil. It seems more reasonable to keep Tmax lower than 200 K. To limit the temperature rise the<br />
current will be dumped by means of an external resistor with a time constant τ. Each superferric<br />
magnet will have two copper current leads. They will be designed so that if one lead faces a thermal<br />
runaway, it will withstand the current during the runaway detection time plus the dumping time<br />
with the time constant τ.<br />
<strong>Super</strong>-FRS dipoles will be powered in series of three. All the other magnets types are expected to<br />
be powered individually. Figure 2.4.70 presents how the quench protection will be done. In all<br />
cases, the current will be dumped by means of a resistor. The current link from one magnet to<br />
another will be warm. The quench detection material for one magnet is: 1 bridge for the magnet and<br />
2 CL1 units (that detects the thermal runaway in the current leads). We note that the magnet has<br />
only one voltage tap. The two other bridge taps are taken from the current leads which enables to<br />
take into account the very small bus bars that connect the magnet to the leads. Steerers will also be<br />
self-protecting magnets. Their protection scheme will be the same as the one presented in Figure<br />
