In 2015 THEVA commissioned its pilot production plant for coated conductors (CC) based on ISD-MgO buffer layers and e-beam evaporation. High yield goals could be successively reached and wire performance up to 700 A/cm has been demonstrated in routine production. The presentation will give an overview on the status and possibilities of the coated conductor production at THEVA. It will cover the technology used by THEVA for the production of the tapes, mechanical and electrical properties and performance in magnetic field at temperatures between 4.2 K and 77 K and fields up to 10 T. Very recently, THEVA also developed a coil manufacturing technique for the EcoSwing1 project. Test results of first test coils will be shown. 1)This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 656024.
