Description
Following work presented at the last IDSM workshop, FNAL had a unique opportunity to measure electromagnetic transients during magnet testing with SMCT01b. This magnet exhibited an unusual training behavior where a large voltage spike appeared shortly before a quench was initiated. To identify the source of the spike, an additional current transducer was added to the magnet test to search for transient behavior during ramping. The measurement suggests substantial coil motion, consistent with mechanical analysis and observations of electromagnetic noise. This measurement suggests a reasonable physical displacement in line with predicted values.
