Abstract :
We describe in detail a 30 Tesla, 32 mm warm bore, 15 MW resistive magnet which was put into operation at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, FL in March 1995. The magnet consists of three concentric axially-cooled Bitter stacks connected electrically in series. This magnet employs a substantial new development in Bitter magnet technology which allows high current densities without the usually accompanying high stresses. Details of magnet optimization, design, construction, testing and operation are presented. We also report on operating experience with the 27 T magnets
