Measurements have been carried out of superconducting cables of different types in pulsed magnetic fields. Three types of samples have been made from multifilamentary Nbo. 5 -Tio. 5 superconductors: one, a cluster of isolated wires; two, a double-layer twisted flat cable," and three, one-layer twist

β¦ Synopsis
Superconducting magnets operating in a pulsed field mode are exposed to magnetomechanical, thermomechanical and purely mechanical stresses. Since most materials incorporated in the magnet, such as the composite conductor, the insulation, the impregnants and the reinforcements, are strained to the limit of their yield strength, the mechanical and electrical behaviour of these materials will change during the first period of operation, until equilibrium conditions are reached.
In this paper a new model for Jc (B) is presented. Based on this model hysteretic losses are calculated and compared to measured data. Losses due to stress-induced pseudo-elastic effects of the composite are calculated.

Losses and magnetization curves of superconducting magnets were measured by recording digitized current and voltage values followed by numerical integration of the instantaneous power. Errors arising from the limited precision and resolution of the voltmeter as well as those introduced by numerical
A generator system for pulsed power is described which employs a tic superconducting magnet in a magnetic flux compression scheme. Experience with a small-scale generator together with projections of numerical models indicate potential applications to fusion research and commercial power generation.
The minimum energy required to quench a fully impregnated superconducting winding has been measured at a constant field of 5 T for various currents. Great care has been taken to match the experimental conditions with those presumed in the minimum propagating zone (MPZ) treatments of the situation. I
