Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting propagating normal zones in a superconducting coil or magnet by monitoring the energy consumed by the magnet/coil per unit time and comparing that value with a previously recorded or stored value of energy consumed per unit time. The monitoring is done outside the cryostat and external quench detection circuitry configurations are disclosed for carrying out the method.
