Description
The newly developed concept of Coupling-Loss Induced Quench (CLIQ) used in the domain of superconducting magnets quench protection has opened a new path towards efficient magnet protection. Subsequently to the first trials using ad hoc solutions in order to confirm functionality and performance of the method, two pre-series of three units each with different hardware configurations have been recently manufactured at CERN. Starting from the design phase, the hardware realization follows industrial standards and associated quality control. At the same time aspects related to the long term operation of the units have also been addressed. This paper discusses the design and manufacturing issues, the construction details and the decisions made on choices considering their operation in test stations and in a final accelerator environment. The results of the tests of these units before connecting them to a superconducting magnet will be presented and analyzed.
