Abstract
The paper discusses stability and protection, two key issues for design and operation of superconducting magnets, both LTS and HTS. A rather optimistic view on stability is presented first, followed by discussion of protection issue, focusing on its sub-issues-overheating and internal voltage-for three types of magnets: 1) LTS cryostable magnet; 2) LTS adiabatic magnet; and 3) HTS adiabatic magnet.
