This paper presents experimental and analytical studies on the characteristic resistance of NI (no-insulation) ReBCO pancake coils, which are used in an equivalent circuit model to characterize 'radial as well as spiral' current paths within the NI coils. We identified turn-to-turn contact resistance as a major source of the characteristic resistance of an NI coil. In order to verify this, three single pancake NI HTS coils-60, 40, 20 turns-were fabricated with their winding tension carefully maintained constant. A sudden discharge test was performed on each coil to obtain its characteristic resistance, and the relation between the turn-to-turn contact and the characteristic resistance was investigated. Based on the characteristic resistance and the n-value model, an equivalent circuit model was proposed to characterize the time-varying response of the NI coils. Charging tests were performed on the three test coils and the experimental results were compared with the simulated ones to validate the proposed approach with the equivalent circuit model.

Recent progresses in the second generation REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − x (RE123) coated conductor (CC) have paved a way for the development of superconducting solenoids capable of generating fields well above 23.5 T, i.e. the limit of NbTi−Nb 3 Sn-based magnets. However, the RE123 magnet still poses several fundamental and engineering challenges. In this work we review the state-ofthe-art of conductor and magnet technologies. The goal is to illustrate a close synergetic relationship between evolution of high-field magnets and advancement in superconductor technology. The paper is organized in three parts: (1) the basics of RE123 CC fabrication technique, including latest developments to improve conductor performance and production throughput; (2) critical issues and innovative design concepts for the RE123-based magnet; and (3) an overview of noteworthy ongoing magnet projects.
