Dear All,
Our 600 magnet quenched a while ago without any warning. The quench
occured during the night when a "specialty' probe was installed. The
probe in question is commercially available and is used excusively by a
single research group. The probe was acquiring a 2-D spectrum at 25 C
when the quench occured. Since the quench had no other apparent
explanation, the specialty probe has been suggested as a contributing
factor.
Are any of you aware of any instances and/or can you envision any
scenarios where a probe at RT could cause a magnet to quench?
I will summarize responses if there's interest.
Thanks,
Ivan
