Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus (200) includes a cryostat (202) containing a volume of myogenic fluid. One or more electrically superconducting coils (204) is disposed within the cryostat. The one or more electrically superconducting coils is configured to produce a magnetic field when an electrical current is passed therethrough. One or more high temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads (206) is permanently disposed within the cryostat and coupled to the one or more electrically superconducting coils. One or more sensors (222) is positioned at or near the one or more HTS current leads to monitor the status of the HTS current leads. An HTS protection switch (208) is selectively coupled to the one or more HTS current leads. A magnet controller (220) controls the HTS protection switch to divert current from the one or more HTS current leads upon detection via the sensors of a quench of the one or more HTS current leads.
