Description

The Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) is responsible for the construction and performance testing of the 30 pairs of ITER high-temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads. A first pair of Poloidal Field (PF) coil type, 52-kA HTS current lead prototypes was built and cold tested in ASIPP in mid-2016. The test results approved their excellent performance on low joint resistance, long loss-of-flow accident time and high current-sharing temperature. The overheating time, mass flow, and heat loads to 5-K ends also meet the expectation. This paper summarizes the major test results for the PF 52-kA HTS current lead prototypes.
