3.4.1 Installation and testing of ITER CS
and TF model coils (ITER Task M20)
The central solenoid model coil (CSMC) was
extensively tested in static and pulsed regimes in the
first half of 2000. All the main goals of the testing
program were achieved and the results presented at
the major conferences [3.5-3.11].
The coil then became a large testing facility in which
samples of different types of conductors (40 – 90 m
long) have already been tested (CS insert in 2000,
toroidal field (TF) insert in 2001) or will be tested
(Nb-Al insert in 2002, poloidal field (PF) insert in
2003) in static or variable fields (up to 13 T).
The main contribution of ENEA to data analysis
concerned the study of AC losses, particularly a
quantitative determination of the continuous
decrease in the coupling losses in the conductor
during the test campaign. This phenomenon had
already been observed during the tests of an ITERrelevant
coil at the ENEA laboratories [3.12].
The toroidal field model coil (TFMC) (fig. 3.7) was
installed in the TOSKA facility at
