Abstract

The NHMFL presently has three Series-Connected-Hybrid (SCH) projects, two of which are entering a construction phase. The design of the SCH outsert magnets is based on a CICC configuration using cable of multi-filamentary and Cu strands inside a stainless steel jacket cooled by forced flow supercritical helium at 4.5 K. The outsert coil design is presented along with the design criteria for the evaluation of conduit and conductor insulation components. The results of detailed finite element analysis performed for normal, quench and fault load conditions are discussed to ensure the levels of stress and strain in conduit and insulations satisfy the design criteria. The conduit evaluation of fatigue life and fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) is performed and the results are discussed for a possible cyclic lifetime and a minimum detectable flaw size for the SCH outsert.
