Abstract
A multi-stranded superconducting coil includes compensation windings for use in detection of quenches in the coil. The compensation windings are formed as an integral part of the coil by co-winding a non-superconducting strand along with the superconducting strands in the cable manufacturing process. The non-superconducting strand is cut and electrically connected to the coil at selected locations.
