5. SuperB 2 nd Collaboration Meeting – Frascati, 13-16 December 2011 Riccardo Musenich Test of QD0 The use of the superconducting transformer allows reaching high current values (in the order of several tens of KA) without huge power supply and current leads. Moreover, as the amount of energy pumped in the sample is limited, it helps protecting the magnet in case of quench.

8. SuperB 2 nd Collaboration Meeting – Frascati, 13-16 December 2011 Riccardo Musenich Test of QD0 Current measurement: 2 Hall probes symmetrically positioned at 0.12 m from the secondary center Calibration of the Hall probes

9. SuperB 2 nd Collaboration Meeting – Frascati, 13-16 December 2011 Riccardo Musenich Test of QD0 Quench protection If a quench is detected by the QDS, two capacitor banks are discharged on two groups of heaters (thin resistors placed on the secondary winding and on the magnet) in order dissipating the stored energy over the entire structure. QDS secondary winding developing resistance quench heaters joint
