✦ Synopsis
An analytical approach is presented for the determination of the propagation of thermal waves in helium cooled superconducting cables caused by a disturbance resulting in the energy deposition over a finite length of the conductor. The problem is reduced to the solution of an integral equation for the propagation of the thermal front. Sample calculation are presented to illustrate the effects of the strength of the initial energy deposition and the resulting Julian heating on the propagation of the thermal wave.

The stability of a superconducting cable is investigated by measuring the heat flux cooled by liquid helium. It was found that the heater power needed to make the cable go to the normal state can be given by PH = Ps + Eo (A mrn/T, where, Ps is the steady heater power needed to make the cable go norm
