Effects of insulation on potted superconducting coils

The authors studied the effects of the insulation on potted superconducting coils wet-wound with Stycast 2850 FT epoxy. The wire was insulated with one or two insulating varnishes: Formvar (a polyvinyl formal resin) or Polyesterimid (a phenolic resin). Although differences in maximum currents were observed, it was found that the type of insulation did not affect the training behavior.<
