Abstract
A quench propagation arrangement for a superconducting magnet comprising a plurality of series-connected superconducting coils, the arrangement comprising: a positive supply line connected to cathodes of first diodes, of which respective anodes are connected to each respective node of the series connection of superconducting coils; a negative supply line connected to anodes of second diodes, of which respective cathodes are connected to each respective node of the series connection of superconducting coils; a number of heaters, respectively thermally connected to each of the superconducting coils and electrically connected between the positive supply line and the negative supply line; and a voltage limiter connected between the positive supply line and the negative supply line, in parallel with the heaters.
