The full size joint test of ITER TF coil was performed using NIFS test facility. Because of transport current of 68kA, which is high current never experienced before, the reduction of cupper busbar heating was needed. Therefore, high temperature superconducting (HTS) busbar (Bi2212 fabricated by Sumitomo Electric Co.,Ltd) was installed in parallel with cupper busbar. In the test, current of HIS busbar was measured using rogowski coil and it was observed that the current of 20 kA could be distributed to HTS busbar. Therefore, the cupper busbar heating could be reducted to about 60% compared with the case of no HTS busbar.
