The paper is devoted to the experimental results obtained in 1992-1993 on the T-15 superconducting toroidal field coil with the stored energy of 380 MJ on the Nb3Sn basis. The critical current dependence on the temperature in the range Tin = 4.5 f 12K was obtained. T h e current 4.0 kA was achieved, that corresponds magnetic field at the axis 3.6 T and peak field at the conductor 6.5 T. The level of the resistive heat load versus transport current was studied, Qre5 achieves 300 W at 3.6 kA. It was shown that plasma current disruptions with the rate up to 80 MA/s did not affect the coil stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
