Abstract:
The performance (stability) of superconducting wires is ensured by smearing of their transient characteristics. The same important property can be used to create reliably controlled superconducting non-degrading windings. The transition to the normal state of such windings is preceded by the appearance of an electric voltage in the area located in the maximum magnetic field. The more smeared is the wire transient response, the greater is the magnitude of the stable voltage.
