Abstract

The invention relates to a superconducting magnet coil system comprising a first electrical mesh (M1) and a second electrical mesh (M2), which are interconnected in series with one another, wherein the first electrical mesh (M1) comprises in a first path an HTS (high temperature superconductor) coil section (A0) and, in series therewith, a first main coil section (A1) and in a second path a quench protection element (Q1), which bridges the series connection of HTS coil section (A0) and first main coil section (A1). The first main coil section (A1) comprises a conductor comprising superconducting filaments in a matrix. The second electrical mesh (M2) comprises a neighbouring main coil section (A3) comprising a conductor comprising superconducting filaments in a matrix. The neighbouring main coil section (A3) is that main coil section of an electrical mesh different from the first electrical mesh which, in a radial direction outwards, lies closest to the first main coil section (A1) of the first electrical mesh. The magnet coil system is characterized in that, in the case of a quench, the conductors of the main coil sections (A1, A3, A4) each generate a specific power input (LT/2π)2*…
