Summary

THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON A BRIDGE CIRCUIT WHICH USES A SPECIAL < TWO IN HAND > WINDING TECHNIQUE FOR THE PANCAKES OF THE EUR LCT COIL. THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT WAS DESIGNED IN A FAIL SAFE WAY TO PREVENT FAILURE OF THE QUENCH DETECTOR DUE TO FAILURE OF ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS. A METHOD FOR QUICK BALANCING OF THE QUENCH DETECTION SYSTEM IN A LARGE TOROIDAL MAGNET SYSTEM WAS APPLIED. THE SYSTEM WHICH WAS WITHIN THE QUENCH DETECTION LEVEL SETTING OF 50 MILLIVOLTS, WAS NOT SENSITIVE TO POLOIDAL FIELD TRANSIENTS AT OR BELOW THIS LEVEL. NON-ELECTRICAL METHODS FOR QUENCH DETECTION WERE ALSO INVESTIGATED.
