Abstract

KTX is a reversed field pinch magnetic confinement device of which the magnet system is designed in ASIPP and USTC. The main parameter of KTX is between RFX and MST. Its magnet system includes the toroidal field (TF) winding and poloidal field (PF) winding (ohmic heating winding and equilibrium field winding), which are less complex than tokamak device due to the fact that a tokamak requires a superconducting system to perform quasi-steady state operation and achieve Q>10. However, the most important part of the magnet system design lies in how to keep the TF magnetic field ripple, as well as any kinds of stray field, to a minimum value. The main design activities of the KTX magnet system are presented as detailed as possible in this paper, and the main activities which have already been completed include magnet coils position and winding, insulation design, plasma modeling prediction, thermal analysis, magnetic field calculations were analyzed and so on. The magnet system design is one of the major activities for KTX device design, which is effective guarantee for the future R&D and manufacture. Besides, the detailed design activities should be continuously optimized and changed based on the results from future R&D and relevant tests.
