Abstract:
Main-Ring magnets fail for a variety of reasons, one of which involves the presence of water. 'Ihe source of water can be either internal from a leaky coil or external such as from a broken insulator. It was proposed that if a magnet failed because of the presence of water, one should be able to detect an electrolytically generated voltage between the copper coils and the iron laminations. 'Ihis voltage would be expected to be a few tenths of a volt....
