Abstract
Insulation system for to kam a k superconducting magnet should ensure the mechanical and electrical reliability and must have resistance to radiation environment during operation. Winding scheme of the whole KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) CS (Central Solenoid) coil using Nb3Sn CICC (Cable In Conduit Conductor), it is found that there is considerable shear due to tensile force. To obtain proper resin system two candidates were tested and compared with the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) standard resin system as a benchmark. This work includes viscosity measurement, flexural strength, shear strength and thermal contraction at room temperature and 77K. Test procedures and the results of each measurement are presented.
