Résumé

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Toroidal Field Model Coil, a large (2.7 × 3.8 × 0.8 m) superconducting (Nb3Sn) DC coil designed and constructed in collaboration between EU industries and laboratories coordinated by European Fusion Development Agreement, has been tested during 2001 in the TOSKA cryogenic facility at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, achieving the nominal 80 kA at 7.8 T peak field and 86 MJ stored energy as a standalone coil (Phase I). Possibly the highlight of the tests was the measurement of the current sharing temperature at different transport currents in the self-field of the coil. The measurement method is discussed, based also on the two-year long predictive work, which preceded it. (See also this Bulletin, reference 2005-0027.)
