Description

The ITER Feeder joints, as critical connections between the Feeders and the superconducting magnet system, play a vital role in ensuring the system's safety and stability. The on-site joint insulation process is a core task to meet design objectives and ensure operational reliability. Since the Feeder joint insulation work began in September 2022, significant progress has been made despite the challenges posed by complex working conditions and stringent quality requirements. To date, insulation and high-voltage testing for over 30 MB joints have been completed, while insulation work on 14 CB joints is ongoing. This paper focuses on the progress of Feeder joint insulation construction, the main challenges encountered, and the strategies adopted to address them. It also summarizes feedback and lessons learned, aiming to provide valuable references for similar future projects.
