Study of the Long-term Behaviour of the Toroidal Field Coils of the Fusion Experiment JET

With a special measuring instrument, the elastic behaviour of the TF-coils was measured, in order to receive information, among other things, on the status of the insulation or the coil windings after several years in operation.

Customer:
JET (Joint European Torus), Culham (Great Britain)

Duration of project: 1996 – 1997

Technical Data of the Bus Bars:

Contents of the Study:Mechanical tests for ageing behaviour
Testing of:1 coil after continuous operation in the experiment
1 coil of the same age without operation load
Comparison:Identical previously-executed tests on a new prototype coil
Measuring Method:Elastic behaviour
Special Features:Measurement parallel and perpendicular to the coil level
