Quench Detection with Fiber Optic Technology (FBG and ULFBG) to Detect Onset of Quench In Superconducting Magnets

Exclusively Licensed

A high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable includes at least one HTS tape stack extending along a length of the HTS cable; and at least one optical fiber extending along the HTS cable. The at least one optical fiber has a plurality of gratings spaced apart from one another along the length of the HTS cable to detect a quench of the at least one HTS tape stack.
