Abstract
An Nb 3 Sn cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductor with short twist pitch structure has been developed at Institute of Plasma Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei, China, to meet the central solenoid model coil (CSMC) project of China fusion engineering test reactor (CFETR). 12 T magnetic field and 1.5 T/s field change are the most basic design target. The coupling loss characteristics of Nb 3 Sn CIC conductor is the key design requirement for CSMS because the deposited energy in magnets from ac losses can decrease the safe margin in the nuclear fusion device. In order to evaluate the coupling loss performance of the Nb 3 Sn CIC conductor, the ac loss measurement for Nb 3 Sn CIC conductor sample was carried out at SULTAN facility. This paper presents the specific structure design of the Nb 3 Sn CIC conductor and ac losses test results first. Then, the coupling losses characteristics are discussed with Multizones PArtial Shielding model and the key fit parameters are obtained from measurement results. Finally, two typical field cases are considered to evaluate the coupling loss energy of Nb 3 Sn CIC conductor for safe operation of the CFETR CSMC and the optimization of the cryogenic system.
