Abstract :
Polyimide with epoxy impregnated glass tape was used in Fermilab baseline design of several SSC Collider dipole magnets which were used in the SSC Accelerator Systems String Test (ASST). Later in the magnet R&D program several magnets were built using conductor insulation in which adhesive that cures at 140°C was coated directly on the polyimide film. Some alternate materials for coil end parts and coil winding were also tested. The data taken during the tests of these magnets are compared with results from 10-stack studies of the two insulation systems and design expectations and correlated with changes in assembly methods
