Abstract :
The study separates high purity aluminum stabilizer design and superconducting strand design. The author discusses the impact of each conductor design parameter on the conductor transient (recovery) stability and dynamic (nonpropagation) stability. The transient stability requirement determines the size of stabilizer and the dynamic stability requirement determines strand design. Examples of 50-kA and 100-kA conductors are given. Design guidelines are established for each of the stability requirements, which lead to cheaper and more efficient conductor designs. A normal zone propagation stopper concept is presented.<>
