Abstract
Based on the procurement agreement signed by the ITER IO and the Chinese domestic agency, the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) will produce the 60 single high-temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads in-kind for ITER. All of the ITER HTS current leads will be cold tested before assembly in the coil feeder systems. Therefore, a dedicated test facility was built in 2011 and completed in 2014 to perform the factory acceptance test of the HTS current leads. This paper describes the design of the test facility and its key components, including the cryogenic system, the power supply system, and the data acquisition as well as quench detection system. As an example, some results of the ITER HTS current lead prototype test campaigns will be shown.
