Description

This paper reports that in order to demonstrate the applicability of a Nb3Sn conductor to pulsed poloidal coils for tokamak fusion machines, the Nb3Sn Demo Poloidal Coil (DPC-EX) has been fabricated and tested. DPC-EX, whose inner diameter is 1 m, consists of two double pancakes made by a react-and-wind technique. The coil has a flat cable-in-conduit conductor cooled by a forced-flow helium. DPC-EX has been set in the Demo Poloidal Coil Test Facility (DPCF), and two background field coils (DPC-U1 and -U2) and flexible power supply units provided it with a variety of operation modes
