Description

The DC busbar is an important component for the ITER PF converter module to connect the converter and the reactor. This paper analyzes different cross-sections and different thermodynamic properties under natural-cooling and water-cooling conditions, and simulation is carried out by the software of the finite element method (FEM). The result of the analysis shows that the water-cooling method is the better choice for the DC busbar. (fusion engineering)
