✦ Synopsis

Methods to increase quench currents of superconducting magnets and to make them more predictable are discussed. Some of the methods are well known while others are unusual (like that of 'electrodynamic treatment').

The results of practical implementation of all methods under discussion are presented.

Theory based on the minimum propagating zone (MPZ) criterion overestimates the critical heat of quench in partially stabilized superconducting magnets. The discrepancy is especially important for high values of the Stekly parameter. In this paper the variational principle for the calculation of crit
