Description
Institute of Plasma physics, Chinese Academy of Siciencs (ASIPP) is being in charge of the the manufacturing and cold testing of the 60 single HTS current lead series production for ITER device in 2017. The norminal current for these HTS current leads are from 10 kA to 70 kA. The cold testing of all 3 types of ITER lead prototypes were qualificated by ASIPP from 2015 to 2016. This paper will firstly summarize the testing items and testing result of ITER lead prototypes, then based on the prototypes experiences, the final test piping & instrument diagram for ITER lead series production is presented and discussed. A additional new test platform in 5K powering test facility for the series is discussed here to optimize the test arrangement. The 30 kV high voltage isolated instrument for the cryogenic temperature and voltage are firstly used to protect the CODAC test system. The detail test procedures and test items for the series will be discussed. At present, the manufacturing of the first pair of ITER lead will be started in the early of 2017. Author would like to present the test results based on the test upgrade work in the conference.
