Description
About the lecture
This lecture will present recent advances in cryogenic test facilities for fusion superconducting (SC) magnet technology developed at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP). It will cover the comprehensive test methodologies for SC materials, full-size conductors (including 100 kA-class cable-in-conduit conductors), and large-scale fusion magnets. Key focus areas include electromagnetic performance validation under multi-field coupling, thermal-hydraulic characterization, quench detection systems, and high-voltage insulation testing. The talk will highlight applications for major international projects (CFETR, ITER, EAST), supported by case studies such as the 2024 CFETR Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) test campaign.
