The charge test of Central Solenoid Model Coil(CSMC) and Toroidal Field Insert Coil(TFIC) were carried out fo about one month from September 2001 with international collaboration under ITER EDA. In the experiment, Acoustic Emission(AE) signals were measured which were induced from CSMC and TFIC. It was the first trial to measure the AE signals from the insert coil directly. Relations among AE signals from TFIC, intensity, number and voltages are discussed in this paper.

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.

A NbAl insert was developed to demonstrate the applicability of a NbAl conductor and wind-and-react method to a TF coil of a fusion reactor by artificially applying 0.4% bending strain to the conductor after its heat treatment. The critical current test results show that the effective strains applied to the strands is almost zero. Then, the validity of the react-and-wind method was demonstrated. In addition, while an unexpected strain, which was proportional to electromagnetic force, was observed in the same scale NbSn conductor, such strain did not exist in the NbAl conductor. This shows a NbAl conductor is suitable to the application to large magnets, such as the TF coil. Furthermore, the effect of the current transfer among the strands on the critical current evaluation is studied by developing a numerical analysis code, KORO. The results figure out that the critical current of a large cable-in-conduit conductor can be easily evaluated assuming the uniform current distribution if the conductance among the strands is 10E5 S/m or less.

The test of the ITER Central Solenoid (CS) model coil, CS and NbAl inserts was carried. The AC loss measurement is one of the most important tests to determine coil performance. The coupling losses of CS and NbAl inserts were measured by calorimetric and magnetization methods, respectively. Both coils had coupling losses with many coupling time constant, and induced circulation currents were observed by voltage taps and hall sensors. Coupling losses decreased with exponential decay constants since the electromagnetic force broke weak sinter among the strands. The gap, created between the cable and the conduit by electromagnetic force, is dependent on the pressure drop of the coolant that flows in the conductor. Our analysis shows that the exponential decay constant of coupling losses is dependent on the gap size. If we can evaluate this exponential decay constant and apply the electromagnetic force that corresponds for the exponential decay constant to the conductor before the regular operation, we can use coils of the condition that coupling losses decrease on the operation.

In the Engineering Design Activities of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), Toroidal Field (TF) Insert have been developed and tested successfully. In the experiment, pressure drop performance of TF insert was investigated. There were two purposes for the investigation. One is to verify the pressure drop prediction using correlations proposed by various researchers. Second is to observe a behavior of pressure drop under the electromagnetic force. The pressure drops of TF insert decreased by around 12% during current-carrying operation of 46kA at 13T. After several current-carrying operation, the friction factor of TF insert has finally reached a value which is around 12% lower than that of virgin state and was not recovered even if there were zero current. It is considered that a deformation of cable cross section inside the conductor jacket appears due to electromagnetic force and a new flow path in the jacket is generated.

The Toroidal Field (TF) insert has been developed by Russia to demonstrate the TF conductor performance and tested in the bore of the Central Solenoid (CS) model coil, which applies a 13-T magnetic field. In this paper, quench property and AC loss measurement is described. Major difference between TF and CS conductor is the jacket shape and existence of mandrel and they effect on quench property and AC loss measurement. Quench test was performed at 46kA, 12T, 6.5K and the currents of the TF insert and the CS model coil were kept for 9 seconds after normal zone appearance. An inductive heater of 200mm length made a quench. Normal zone length was 16m, and the maximum velocity was 2m/s. Maximum temperature is estimated to be 160 K with some errors. Hysteresis loss was measured by calorimetric method and the values are almost same as the expected values from strand data. It was pointed out that coupling loss measurement using calorimetric method is difficult because loss at the mandrel is more than 10 times higher than coupling loss.

Vurrent sharing temperature (Tcs) measurement of ITER toroidal field insert was performed. The coil is Nb
Sn 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.
