QUELL experiment: analysis and interpretation of the quench propagation results

Journal Articles

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the experimental results and interpretation of the quench propagation runs performed in the QUELL experiment. It is shown, based on experimental data, that the quench propagation in cable-in-conduit conductors with a central channel has two regimes. Scaling relations for the dependence of the normal zone length on the operating current, temperature margin, helium mass flow and propagation time for these two regimes are presented. It is shown that at early times the quench propagation is conduction-dominated, while at late times the pressure-driven regime dominates. An unexpected and previously unpredicted dependence (scaling) of the quench velocity with the temperature margin was observed. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Copper conductor

Copper has been used in electrical wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the 1820s. The invention of the telephone in 1876 created further demand for copper wire as an electrical conductor. Copper is the electrical conductor in many categories of electrical wiring. Copper wire is used in power generation, power transmission, power distribution, telecommunications, electronics circuitry, and countless types of electrical equipment. Copper and its alloys are also used to make electrical contacts.

Electrical conduit

An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes. Conduit is generally installed by electricians at the site of installation of electrical equipment. Its use, form, and installation details are often specified by wiring regulations, such as the US National Electrical Code (NEC) and other building codes.

Power cable

A power cable is an electrical cable, an assembly of one or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall sheath. The assembly is used for transmission of electrical power. Power cables may be installed as permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed. Power cables that are bundled inside thermoplastic sheathing and that are intended to be run inside a building are known as NM-B (nonmetallic sheathed building cable).
