A V3Ga-NbTi magnet system with different currents from one power supply

In recent years the manufacturing of Nb
3
Sn or V
3
Ga composite wires by the bronze process has been mastered. Nb
3
Sn was investigated more intensively than V
3
Ga [1,2] although in high fields V
3
Ga is expected to be superior [3]. Accordingly V
3
Ga tape was used in a 17.5 Tesla magnet [4] and multifilamentary V
3
Ga conductor in a 10 Tesla magnet [5]. In this paper we describe an 11 Tesla V
3
Ga-NbTi magnet system, the V
3
Ga conductor being produced in our laboratory [6]. A numerical quench analysis for the system is presented.
