The accuracy and the reliability of quench detection method of superconducting coil is the most important for the safety of the superconducting coils. If the superconducting coil is high current density and has large stored energy, the accuracy and reliability of the quench detection method dominates the limitation of these capacity. The improved potential method and the fluid dynamic method for the quench detection are developed for the poloidal coil of the Demonstration Poloidal Coil (DPC). These methods have high accuracy and high reliability from the experimental results.
