A superconducting cyclotron (K-500) is under construction at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre. Two superconducting coils ' named 'Alpha' and 'Beta' ' generates the main magnetic field of the cyclotron. Subsequent to the in-house fabrication of the two coils, it was assembled into the cryostat and the magnet assembly completed. Immediately after the cool down, the superconducting coils were energized. Two dump resistors ' slow and fast ' serve to dissipate the energy stored in the coils externally depending upon the situation. Various sets of data were collected during these dumping conditions and based on these an approximate mathematical model was constructed to simulate the dumping characteristics. This model took into account the lead drops, the cable and the joint resistances along with the dump resistor values and the self and mutual inductances (that varied with current) of the coil.
