Abstract

Participants in the international Large Coil Task (LCT) have designed, built, and tested six different toroidal field coils. Each coil has a 2. 5-m by 3. 5-m D-shaped bore and a current between 10 and 18 kA and is designed to demonstrate stable operation at 8 T, with a superimposed average field pulse of 0. 14 T in 1. 0 s and simulated nuclear heating. Electromagnetic properties of LCT coils measured in different modes of energization and fast dump are summarized. Effects of mutual coupling and induced eddy currents are analyzed and discussed. Measurements of the AC loss caused by the superimposed pulsed fields are summarized. The interpretation of the test results and their relevance to practical fusion are presented.
