Abstract
In this paper, thermal stability of two 6-filament MgB2 wires with resistive CuNi sheath has been examined by DC transport measurements at the temperature of liquid He and variable external magnetic fields, and at variable temperatures of water ice under self-field conditions. Current-voltage characteristics up to the quench were performed and the operation limits of both wires under different cooling are analyzed and compared. The obtained results show that only 6 % of well conducting copper core allows to improve the thermal stability considerably, and it also limits the wire heating after the quench. MgB2 wires showed more stable operation after the quench under subcooled water ice in comparison to traditional Helium bath cooling, which offer a cheap and safe cooling mode for future devices.
