16Comparison of coils
Cu coil
Superconductive coil
Increase of resistance by generation of heat
A large current can be thrown for a long time.
It energizes in a short time.
The electrical resistance loss of the coil is
almost 0.
Energy into which the electrical resistance loss
of the coil generated electricity is greatly
exceeded.
The majority of the fusion energy can be used as
electricity.

20Introduction
Table 1 ITER CS main parameters.
Fig. 1. The ITER central solenoid.
21Plasma operation
all CS modules initially magnetized are
discharged on resistors of the switching network
units (SNU) inducing the toroidal electrical
field inside the vacuum vessel
breakdown of the gas
its ionization and generates plasma current.
a maximum voltage of 10 kV
a maximum field on the conductor of 13 T
The maximum current in the central modules
is reached at the end of burn, but with a maximum
magnetic field of 12.4 T.
22Coil design
Nb3Sn model coil
Very sensitive to strain
Nb3Sn
As a structural material the conductor jacket has
to resist the large electromagnetic forces
arising during operation and to demonstrate a
good fatigue behaviour.
(JK2LB stainless steal)
JK2LB stainless steal
Fig. 2. The CS conductor.
It was selected in order to withstand the planned
60,000 cycles (2 cycles per burn) during
operation.
23Coil design
The winding pack of one module is a stack of 6
hexa pancakes with one quad pancake in the
middle.
1.5 nO
outbursting hoop force
locked to the last-but- one turn to withstand
Fig. 3. CS module.
It is giving a high voltage operating capability
(test voltage 29kV)
24Coil design
Electrical supply
Each CS module is energised independently with
its own power supply
Cooling
Fig. 4. Connection of the CS modules to the
feeders.
All modules are cooled in parallel.
25Precompression structure
The precompression structure is needed to avoid
separation of the modules during operation
Allow radial breathing of the stack assembly.
An additional precompression is provided during
cooldown by the differential thermal contraction
between the stainless steel tie-plates and the
JK2LB buffer zones.
The mechanical analysis of the CS during
operation
Fig. 5. Precompression structure.
An average axial precompression of 26MPa applied
on the whole surface of the modules after
cooldown prevents any vertical gap between
modules from occurring.
26Conclusions
The detailed design of the central solenoid which
has been developed combines modularity and tight
arrangement in a restricted narrow space to allow
maximum flexibility during plasma operation.
Production of detailed drawings is underway
installation of helium distribution inside
A modular precompression structure achieve axial
precompression
Production of detailed drawings is underway.
