“Getting magnets up to field is often the easy part, getting them down from field in a hurry is the hard part”, says Greg Brittles, Tokamak Energy Principal Magnet Engineer. Avoiding ‘quench’ is the goal of all superconducting magnet engineers. In our latest fusion pioneer video, Greg explains what quench is and how we protect our pioneering high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets against it.
