Which risk increases when operating a multi-strand superconducting cable near its critical current?

💡 Explanation

Quench propagation increases because exceeding the critical current leads to a rapid loss of superconductivity; this resistive heating triggers a thermal runaway destabilizing adjacent areas because of thermal conductivity, therefore causing quench propagation rather than other electromagnetic effects.
