Abstract :
A description is given of a new test system currently under construction. The system will be used to measure the AC losses of subcables from Next European Torus (NET) conductors. A special feature of the test arrangement is that the losses will be determined while the sample carries a transport current and is at the same time subjected to a changing magnetic field in the transverse and longitudinal directions. Several aspects of the design, such as magnetic field, forces, and losses, are discussed
