Abstract

In the framework of the ITER qualification tests the second Chinese sample (CNTF2) was tested in the SULTAN facility. The sample was made of two identical ITER TF type cable-in-conduit conductor sections. Internal Sn strands offered by Western Superconducting Technologies Company (WST) were used for the conductor fabrication. The main characteristics of the conductor and the strand are presented as well as the sample assembly details. The test was performed in accordance with the ITER International Organization specified program. In order to evaluate the conductor performance, the current sharing temperature was measured at specified electromagnetic load cycling steps. Few voltage-current characteristics were measured with the aim of n-value estimation. Before cycling load, both conductor sections of CNTF2 showed different performance, but after 1200 cycles and warmed up and cool down, they showed identical performance: the current sharing temperature (Tcs) was 6.36 K, which exceeds ITER requirement of 5.7 K. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Electrical conductor

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current) in one or more directions. Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors. The flow of negatively charged electrons generates electric current, positively charged holes, and positive or negative ions in some cases. In order for current to flow within a closed electrical circuit, one charged particle does not to travel from the component producing the current (the current source) to those consuming it (the loads).

ITER

ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun. Upon completion of construction of the main reactor and first plasma, planned for late 2025, it will be the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment and the largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor.

Conducting

Conducting is the art of directing a musical performance, such as an orchestral or choral concert. It has been defined as "the art of directing the simultaneous performance of several players or singers by the use of gesture." The primary duties of the conductor are to interpret the score in a way that reflects the specific indications in that score, set the tempo, ensure correct entries by ensemble members, and "shape" the phrasing where appropriate.
