Abstract
Premature quenches in superconducting solenoids, wound by Formvar coated NbTi conductors, has been studied. Radial compression between winding layers is supposed to be essential to suppress conductor motions; the relation between radial stress distribution in the winding and quench current is investigated by experiment for a model magnet. The result is discussed based on the stress calculation and frictional characteristics of the Formvar coated conductor.
