Abstract
- The Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) was designed and built by an ITER collaboration in 1993-2001. Three heavily instrumented Inserts have been also built for testing in the background field of the CSMC. The Nb[sub 3]Al Insert was designed and built by Japan to explore the feasibility of an alternative to Nb[sub 3]Sn superconductor for fusion magnets. The Nb[sub 3]Al Insert coil was tested in the CSMC Test Facility at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Naka, Japan in March-May 2002. It was the third Insert tested in this facility under this program. The Nb[sub 3]Al Insert coil was charged successfully without training in the background field of the CSMC to the design current of 46 kA at 13 T peak field and later was successfully charged up to 60 kA in 12.5 T field. This paper presents the test results overview. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
