ResumoThe largest pulsed superconducting coils ever built, the Central Solenoid (CS) Model Coil and Central Solenoid Insert Coil were successfully developed and tested by international collaboration under the R&D activity of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), demonstrating and validating the engineering design criteria of the ITER Central Solenoid coil. The typical achievement is to charge the coil up to the operation current of 46 kA, and the maximum magnetic field to 13 T with a swift rump rate of 0.6 T/s without quench. The typical stored energy of the coil reached during the tests was 640 MJ that is 21 times larger than any other superconducting pulsed coils ever built. The test have shown that the high current cable in conduit conductor technology is indeed applicable to the ITER coils and could accomplish all the requirements of current sharing temperature, AC losses, ramp rate limitation, quench behavior and 10 000-cycle operation.
