Quench Characteristics of SSC Dipole Magnet Prototypes

The quench performance and ramp rate sensitivity of eighteen 5-cm-aperature, 15-m-long SSC dipole magnet prototypes are discussed. All the magnets appear to reach a quench plateau near their extrapolated short sample current limit and well in excess of the operating current with very little training. Most of the magnets, however, exibit a dramatic degradation of thier quench current as a function of ramp rate, which for the most part, can be attributed to large cable eddy currents.
