β¦ Synopsis
The scope of the following paper is to revise the model of the well-cooled/ill-cooled transition in cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs), introducing the concept of a transition regime where the energy margin decreases from high to low (ideally zero) values gradually. This description is arrived at using intuitive power and energy balances to produce simple expressions involving only the geometry and operating conditions of the cable. These expressions will be translated into operating limits on the cable space current density and will be checked against numerical experiments.

Reduced sized cable-in-conduit Nb3Sn conductors were fabricated with various void fractions as a parameter, before fabricating full size conductors. The relation between critical current and bending strain was investigated. The Nb3Sn conductors had a 6 x 3 strand cable in a conduit with 0.61 mm diam
Experiments investigating the stability of cable-in-conduit superconductors were performed using test conductors composed of small, quadruplex cables enclosed in steel tubes. To examine the effects of a variation in stabilizer resistivity, all test conductors contained two strands of identical NbTi/
The transient stability of a Nb-Ti, cable-in-conduit conductor cooled with supercritical helium was investigated experimentally by inductively heating the conductor for short-time durations. Data were gathered for zero and nonzero imposed flow rates. In addition, some of the zero-flow measurements w
