Re: Note on induced currents and forces during quench

[Tim Whitlatch <whitey@jlab.org>]

Thanks Elton,

The bottom line;

We electrically break the ground plane in the FDC
We electrically break the BCAL wedge circle
We support the upstream CDC endplate to prevent axial movement during a 
quench.

Thanks,

       Tim
