As one of the R&D of ITER. a hydraulic performance of NbAl insert coil was measured and compared with other NbSn conductors. It seems that a longer twist pitch will promote a triangle helium flow space among 4th twist stage cables, jacket and center channel and contribute reduction of pressure drop. Under 500 kN/m of the electromagnetic force, the pressure drop of the NbAl insert decreased by approximately 5%. NbAl conductor indicated quit rigid characteristic under the electromagnetic force and suitable for future magnet with higher magnetic field and current.

Analysis of critical current () and current sharing temperature () was performed to the ITER Center Solenoid (ITER-CS) Model Coil Insert. Voltage behavior related to normal state transition of the conductor during or measurement has not been well understood especially in case of such a large cable with more than one thousand strands as this coil. From the detailed analysis of the voltage behavior of the coil, it is found that the average of electric field in the strand-longitudinal direction over the conductor cross section is equal to the average field of one strand along the conductor length, whose integral was measured by the voltage taps during the coil test. It is because twist pitch of the cable is less than the range of longitudinal field variation in this case. This evaluation method can estimate voltage behavior and predict and values, which are important parameters for the design of a large conductor coil, based on the property of strands composing the conductor.

Vurrent sharing temperature (Tcs) measurement of ITER toroidal field insert was performed. The coil is NbSn superconducting coil and was installed inside of the ITER CS model coil as a backup field coil. Relation between the voltage of individual strand composing TF insert conductor and the measured voltage using the taps on the jacket is investigated and the evaluation method for Tcs measurement was established. The obtained results shows that there was discrepancy between the expected value from the strand data and the measured value which is lower by about 1.2K. Some discrepancy was already observed just after cool down of the insert before energizing.
