Description

An extended test of a 60-cm-bore Nb3Sn coil (TMC-I), constructed as a development of superconducting toroidal coil in tokamak machine, has been carried out in the cluster test facility. A 192-cm-length (one turn) normal zone, nucleated by a heat-input in the innermost turn, is recovered to superconducting state at 6 kA and 10 T. For the manual dump with a decay time constant of 6.6 sec (B = 1.0 T/sec), no damage is found on the TMC-I. In addition, a out-of-plane force mode operation, using one of the cluster test coils, is done with no trouble. With these good results, the first stage in TMC-I test was completed. And as the next stage, up-grading the cluster test facility for further TMC-I test in 11 T is now going ahead
