Abstract

This paper presents a study on the effects of winding tension on the characteristic resistance of a no-insulation (NI) coil. Two ReBCO NI test pancake coils, having the same winding i.d. (60 mm), o.d. (67.6 mm), and number of turns (60), were sequentially prepared in a way that the first test coil was wound with a winding tension of 12-N, tested, and then rewound with a new winding tension of 20-N for the same tests. In each test, the test coil was energized at a target current, the power supply was "suddenly" disconnected, and then the temporal decay of the coil center field was measured, from which the time constant of the test coil and the consequent characteristic resistance were obtained. To check the reproducibility of experimental data, each test was repeated four times and each time the test coil was unwound and rewound with a given winding tension. The experimental results were analyzed with equivalent circuit analyses. Correlation between the winding tension and the characteristic resistance was discussed in detail.
