Test results of the DPC-TJ: electromagnetic performance

  • 1. Toshiba Corp., Turumi, Yokohama (Japan)

Description

The DPC-TJ coil experiment was successfully carried out at the Japan Atomic Research Institute (JAERI) in 1991. This coil was developed by Toshiba and JAERI in collaboration to demonstrate the realization of superconducting coils for fusion with a high average current density of 40 A mm-2. The DPC-TJ coil was charged up to its rated current of 24 kA (40 A mm-2) at 7.6 T without quench in the DPC test facility. Thereafter electromagnetic performance was tested by measuring Ic and Tcs values, and the critical current at 12 T was estimated at 41 kA. Many electromagnetic results were obtained, which are necessary for the design of future fusion machines such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). (author)
