Abstract :
The Poloidal Field (PF) coils of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) will supply the necessary magnetic field to initiate, shape, control and shutdown burning plasmas. The PF coils use NbTi cable-in-conduit superconductors, which operate at maximum currents of the order of 45–60 kA and experience large variations of current and magnetic fields. In order to test full-scale NbTi superconductors at operational conditions similar to ITER, the European Team has been asked to design and manufacture a PF conductor insert (PFCI). The cable has been provided by the Russian Federation. The Insert will be tested in 2004 in the Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) facility at JAERI Naka, Japan.
