Popis: The ramp-rate limitation found in the US-demonstration poloidal coil (US-DPC) test was studied in a laboratory scale experiment. The ramp-rate sensitivity has been identified on a 27-strand cable-in-conduit conductor at a background ramped field to 9.5 T with various ramp rates of 0.5 T/s to 2 T/s, simulating the US-DPC test conditions. A model assuming the existence of periodic disturbances is proposed in which the disturbance frequency is directly proportional to the ramp rate of the square of field. A semi-empirical formula was developed which fits the ramp-rate limitation data of both the US-DPC large coil and the 27-strand cable. The ramp-rate limitation does not occur for currents below the conventional limiting current. >
