Description
To qualify the insulation design to be applied on the ITER PF6 coil, two short beam-shaped mock-up’s taking the form of the conductors combined with insulation in the coil have been tested in simulated Tokamak operation environment. All the results of the mechanical and electrical tests, including compressive fatigue, push-out, thermal cycling, DC and AC high-voltage withstanding, AC partial discharge, and Paschen tests, met the ITER requirement. This confirmed that the insulation design is suitable to the PF6 coil, and further the qualification of the insulation manufacture process can be started.
