Collective Flux Jumps observed in the Operation of the EDIPO Magnet

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Stephen Alfred March

The tilted head race track coils of the EDIPO test facility are wound with cable-in-conduit conductors made by high current density Nb3Sn strands, Jc = 2400 A/mm2 at 12 T – 4.2 K. Since the commissioning of the coils, frequent voltage spikes were observed ...

Analysis of Transmission Lines With Arrester Termination, Considering the Frequency-Dependence of Grounding Systems

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Keyhan Sheshyekani

The paper proposes a modeling technique to analyze the response of a transmission line terminated by a lightning arrester connected to a grounding system buried in a lossy ground. In this technique, the transmission line is modeled in the frequency domain ...

Transient heat loads in current fusion experiments, extrapolation to ITER and consequences for its operation

Richard Pitts, James Paley

New experimental results on transient loads during ELMs and disruptions in present divertor tokamaks are described and used to carry out a extrapolation to ITER reference conditions and to draw consequences for its operation. In particular, the achievement ...

Anomalies on V-I characteristic of NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

Two kinds of anomaly, observed in the Volt-Ampere Characteristic (VAC) of large NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) are discussed. In one case, the wavy behavior of the VAC close to the current sharing range is explained with oscillations of the coolin ...
