The experimental analysis on the thermal and electrical characteristics of impregnating materials for superconducting magnets

Abstract

In recent years, a development of Coated Conductor (CC) that is a called the second generation superconductor tape is opened out. Therefore a commercialization of superconducting power equipments will be realized presently. To realize a commercialization, it is necessary to develop a stable superconducting magnet. A superconducting magnet has to keep thermal stability as well as electrical stability. In this paper, thermal conductivity of impregnating materials, epoxy compounds, was measured at 65K, 77K, 100K and 200K. Dielectric Strength of superconducting magnet modeled electrode system with impregnating materials was also analyzed. Stycast® blue/catalyst 23LV is good materials to apply to the superconducting magnets. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.
