Abstract
A superconducting joint arrangement for superconducting magnets, having an elongate joint arranged between superconducting filaments of superconducting wires of one or more superconducting coils, and excess wire provided between the elongate joint and the one or more superconducting coils.
Claims22
A superconducting joint arrangement for superconducting magnets, comprising:
- an elongate joint arranged between superconducting filaments of superconducting wires of one or more superconducting coils;
- and
- excess wire provided electrically between the elongate joint and the one or more superconducting coils,
- wherein the elongate joint is in thermal contact with at least one of the superconducting wires at a location electrically between the one or more superconducting coils and the excess wire.
1 more element
A method for forming a superconducting joint arrangement for superconducting magnets, comprising:
- providing superconducting wires extending from one or more superconducting coils, each superconducting wire comprising superconducting filaments encased in a thermally conductive sheath;
- exposing a length of superconducting filaments by removing the sheath at a free end of each superconducting wire;
- forming the superconducting filaments into a joint;
- and
- attaching the joint in thermal contact with at least one of the wires at a location electrically between the coils and the joint,
- wherein a length of excess wire is left between the superconducting coils and the superconducting joint, and the superconducting joint is attached in thermal contact with the superconducting wires at a location between the superconducting coils and the excess wire.
