Qualification of the ITER Correction Coils and Their Conductor

Abstract

The ITER correction coils (CCs) are designed to be arranged toroidally around the machine inside the poloidal field coils and mounted on the toroidal field coils in order to compensate field errors arising from misalignment of the coils and winding deviations from the nominal shape as a result of fabrication tolerances, joints, leads, busbars CCs, and assembly tolerances. China is responsible for manufacturing all the CCs and their conductor. The paper presents the qualification progress and results of ITER CCs and CC conductor, including the test results of CC SULTAN samples, double pancakes winding experiments, CC case welding techniques, and manufacturing experiment of CC helium inlet/outlets.
