Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of feeders for low-temperature superconducting magnets. Background technique:
[0002] Thermonuclear fusion will be the way to completely solve the energy demand of mankind, and the International Thermonuclear Test Reactor (ITER) program will be implemented in the next ten years. The current leads feeding the large superconducting magnets are the most significant source of heat load. The use of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads can save 2 / 3 of the cooling power consumption. In 2003 and 2004, Japan and Germany successively developed 60kA and 70kA HTS current leads for ITER magnets, which are comparable to conventional copper current leads in low temperature tests. pair. The Japan Atomic Energy Institute uses many niobium-titanium superconducting wires to connect the HTS components and copper current leads, and immerses them in liquid helium for cooling, which is purely an expedient metho...
