Abstract
Qualification of the ITER conductor is absolutely necessary. Testing large scale conductorsis expensive and time-consuming. To test 3–4 m long straight samples in a bore of a splitsolenoid is a relatively economical way in comparison with the fabrication of a coil to betested in a bore of a background field solenoid. However, testing short samples maygive ambiguous results due to different constraints in current redistribution inthe cable or other end effects which are not present in the large magnet. Thispaper discusses the processes taking place in the ITER conductor, conditionswhen conductor performance could be distorted and possible signal processing todeduce the behaviour of ITER conductors in ITER magnets from the test data.
