Development and Test of the ITER SC Conductor Joints
نویسندگان
چکیده
Joints for the ITER superconducting Central Solenoid should perform in rapidly varying magnetic field with low losses and low DC resistance. This paper describes the design of the ITER joint and presents its assembly process. Two joints were built and tested at the PTF facility at MIT Test results are presented; losses in transverse and parallel field and the DC performance are discussed. The developed joint demonstrates sufficient margin for baseline ITRR operating scenarios

Sensitivity Analysis and Stray Capacitance of Helical Flux Compression Generator with Multi Layer Filamentary Conductor in Rectangular Cross-Section
This paper presents an approach to calculate the equivalent stray capacitance (SC) of n-turn of the helical flux compression generator (HFCG) coil with multi layer conductor wire filaments (MLCWF) in the form of rectangular cross-section. This approach is based on vespiary regular hexagonal (VRH) model. In this method, wire filaments of the generator coil are separated into many very small simi...
متن کاملQualification Tests and Facilities for the ITER Superconductors
All the ITER superconductors are tested as short length samples in the SULTAN test facility at CRPP. Eighteen TF conductor samples with small layout variations were tested since February 2007 with the aim of verification of the design and qualification of the manufacturers. The sample assembly and the measurement techniques at CRPP are discussed. Starting in 2010, another test facility for ITER...

The full-scale Sector Model Project, which was initiated in 1995 as one of the Large Seven ITER R&D Projects, completed all R&D activities planned in the ITER-EDA period with the joint effort of the ITER Joint Central Team (JCT), the Japanese, the Russian Federation (RF) and the United States (US) Home Teams. The fabrication of a full-scale 18 toroidal sector, which is composed of two 9 sectors...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Current Distribution in the ITER CS-Insert Model Coil Conductor by Self Field Measurements
Non-uniformities in the paths of the currents in a Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC), resistive or inductive, will result into an unbalanced current distribution. The current nonuniformity may affect the performance of a magnet system and it is therefore essential to evaluate this phenomenon. The current distribution in the Central Solenoid Insert Coil (CSIC) from the Central Solenoid Model Coi...
