Abstract

The thermal stability analysis of a stacked strand consisting of the YBCO tapes with square cross-section is presented. Symmetrically arranged YBCO tapes are sheathed by stainless steel. The thermal stability characteristics, including the minimum quench energy (MQE) and the quench propagation velocity (QPV), are calculated by finite element analysis method. The experimental results show that the MQE and QPV of stainless steel reinforced strand are consistent with the simualtion results.
