The planned facility FAIR will include 5 magnet rings including two superconducting synchotrons. The SIS100 synchrotron is the core component of the facility and will be equipped with 2 Tesla dipole magnets pulsed with 4 Tesla/s. The cable of the magnet coils is made of a hollow NbTi composite cable of about 7 mm outer diameter, cooled with two-phase helium flow at 4.5 K. We calculate the heat load, the eddy and the hysteresis losses, investigate the impact of the ramping on the magnetic field,
