Effect of electromagnetic force on the pressure drop and coupling loss of cable-in-conduit conductor

Hamada, Kazuya; Takahashi, Yoshikazu; Matsui, Kunihiro; Kato, Takashi; Okuno, Kiyoshi

In the ITER Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) and a CS Insert Coil (CSIC) experiment, a pressure drop of the CSIC decreased by about 12% at 40 kA, 10 T and coupling losses indicated an transport current dependence. As a result of pressure drop analysis, an electromagnetic force causes a compressive deformation of cable in a jacket and a new flow passage was generated as a gap between cable and jacket. The cable deformation causes a decrease of a contact electrical resistance between strands and an increase of coupling losses. Taking account of the electromagnetic force dependency of a coupling time constant, calculated coupling losses show a good agreement with measured coupling losses at a pulsed operation of CSMC and CSIC.
