Testing and performance of the 30 KA ohmic heating system for ASDEX

Creators

Description

After installation of the 18 inner coils for the ohmic heating system (90 of 100 turns) of ASDEX the coils were successively run up to the full current strength of 30 kA. At the same time the radial and vertical motions of the individual OH coils and leads were systematically investigated with 60 displacement pickups. In a further test phase the tilt motion of the toroidal coils at the full toroidal field (45 kA, 28 kG) was measured. The results of these investigations are discussed in detail and an account is given of experience with the breaker system. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Nach der Installierung der 18 inneren Spulen des ohm'schen Aufheizungs-Systems (90 von 100 Windungen) wurden die Spulen sukzessiv bis zur vollen Stromstaerke von 30 kA belastet. Gleichzeitig wurden die radialen und vertikalen Bewegungen der einzelnen OH-Spulen und Fuehrungen mit 60 Verschiebungsmessgeraeten systematisch untersucht. In einer weiteren Testphase wurde die Kippbewegung der toroidalen Spulen bei vollen toroidalem Feld (45 kA, 28 kG) gemessen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen werden im Einzelnen diskutiert, und es wird ueber die Erfahrung mit dem Unterbrechersystem berichtet. (orig.)
