Cluster test facility for superconducting tokamak toroidal magnet system development
Abstract
As a step in the development of a superconducting tokamak toroidal magnet system, a cluster test system is being constructed. The test facility has two coils, called cluster test coil (CTC), in a sector position, which provides background field to a test module coil (TMC). The oval-shaped TMC has a mean width of 1.5 m and a mean height of 2.0 m. It is designed to operate at a peak field of 8 T and an average current density of 3 KA/sq cm on the winding space when CTC, operated with rated current, has 7 T as a peak field with current density of 3 KA/sq cm. Experience on the cluster test will provide fabrication techniques and verifications of computer codes for future toroidal coil design principles.
