Correction coil and magnet feeder lessons learned

Abstract

Abstract China has contributed to the manufacturing of the Error Field Correction Coils (CC) and the Magnet Feeders for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). The manufacturing projects have been carried by ASIPP (Institute of Plasma Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences). In this paper, the lessons learned from these two manufacturing projects will be described with special focus on some key manufacturing processes. These experiences gained from the work carried so far in CC and magnet feeder manufacturing and testing are very valuable not only for the remaining manufacturing tasks of these two projects, but also for similar systems of other Tokamak fusion device.
