Performance Comparison of Cables With Partial Transposition
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Federica Demattè, Chiara Frittitta
The need of full transposition of the current carrying elements (strands) in large cables is frequently retained as top design criterion for conductors operating in pulsed mode. However, when the transposition error, i.e., the inductance difference among t ...
Piscataway2024AC loss and electrical resistance of the RW3 diffusion-bonded joint
For the European DEMO fusion reactor, several options of the Toroidal Field (TF) coil design were proposed. The winding of the TF coil option 1 is based on React&Wind (RW), Nb3Sn, graded conductors in order to optimize the amount of superconductor accordin ...
2023Performance of the Cable-in-Conduit Conductors for Super-X Test Facility
Following the conceptual design, the engineering design of the dc magnet and cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) for the Super-X test facility has been done in 2021. Totally three types of conductors with different structures were designed for the three pair ...
