Detection and protection novel concepts, models and experiments.
An extensive experimental campaign, supported by the EUROfusion consortium, is ongoing at SULTAN to investigate the quench propagation in High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICCs) and provide support for the calibration and validation of the numerical tools used for the analysis of quench propagation in HTS CICCs. The H4C code (an upgraded version of the 4C...
In the framework of Cold Test Facility (CTF) at CEA Saclay, JT-60SA TF coils (TFC) were tested in nominal operating conditions (25.7 kA and 5 K) followed by experimental study and numerical modelling of the quench. An additional experimental activity was conducted in order to perform further measurements on the two TFC spares. The first aim of this test program was to allow further...
