Summary

CURRENT LEADS FOR SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS ARE STUDIED TO SIMPL IFY THE DESIGN INTO A SINGLE CHART. CHARACTERISTICS OF A WIDE VARIETY OF CURRENT LEADS, NAMELY GEOMETRIC DIMENSION, HEAT FLOW INTO LIQUID HELIUM AND PRESSURE DROP OF THE COOLING GAS FLOW ARE REPRESENTED IN THE FORM OF A SINGLE DESIGN CHART. CURRENT LEADS CAN BE OPTIMIZED WITHOUT EXPLICIT CONSIDERATION OF QUANTITIES. AS THE BURN-OUT OF CURRENT LEADS IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR WITH THE ACCIDENTAL DECREASE OR STOPPAGE OF COOLING GAS FLOW, THIS SERIOUS SITUATION MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE DESIGN. AN ADIABATIC APPROXIMATION IS USED TO ESTIMATE THE TEMPERATURE RISE.
