Abstract
A new generation of ITER TF conductor samples has been assembled and tested in SULTAN in 2007 following a common procedure agreed among the ITER parties. The test results of six SULTAN samples, made of twelve conductor sections manufactured in Europe, Japan, Korea and Russia, are reported here. The conductor layout reflects the ITER TF conductor design, with minor differences for the Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn strand characteristics, void fraction and twist pitch. The object of the test is a straight comparison with the ITER requirement of 5.7 K current sharing temperature at 68 kA current and 11.3 T field. A broad range of behavior is observed.
