  • Abstract
    A description is given of a simulation method that calculates the time dependencies of current and voltage for multiple coils under the condition that the coils were quenched. This method is used to calculate the current changes and temperature rise in a 4.7-T superconducting small bore magnet. It is found that the temperature rise is less than 200 K in superconducting shim coils and 125 K in main coils. Consequently, coils can be protected without protection resistance
