Magnetic Field Saturation of Non-Insulation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils during Overcurrent

Non-insulation high-temperature superconducting coils provide a much lower risk of burnout in fault/abnormal conditions, such as hot-spot quench and overcurrent. This study employs an equivalent circuit grid model, coupled with magnetic field calculation and the <i>E</i>–<i>J</i...
