Popis: Frequency Loss Induced Quench (FLIQ) system is a novel technique that relies on generating AC losses to uniformly heat a superconducting coil to induce a safe and rapid quench. FLIQ drives an imbalance in the transport current between two or more sections of the magnet. To drive the imbalance, FLIQ uses an H-bridge design with Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)s, whose gates are controlled based on the current feedback, allowing the system to operate at resonance. Simulation of estimated energy per volume deposited by FLIQ and sensitivity analysis of its parameters are performed and the results presented. Application of FLIQ for protection of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet systems is described.
