He oules are locaed a each join. Slide 17
Tail Funcion of he ail is o ransfer he longiudinal ensile (or compression) force from he coil erminaion end of he oumos conducor o he adjacen urns Elecrically insulaed Toal lengh is shorer han 600 mm Cross secion wihin he conducor dimensions Slide 18
Coil joins There are four ypes of joins in he PF coil: 1) Pancake Join: Joins beween he wo conducors wihin a DP 2) DP Join: Joins beween wo double pancakes 3) Terminal Join: Joins of he erminals 4) Jumper Join: Joins o he jumper when bypassing a fauled DP The conducor cable end is pressed ino a bi-meallic box, machined from an explosively bonded sainless seel-copper plae. The box is welded o he jacke of he conducor on one end wih a sainless seel pipe. The copper soles of wo erminaions are soldered ogeher and form he elecrical connecion Triangular sainless seel wedges were added o ransfer load beween he wo win-box halves around he copper. Slide 19
Join Suppor The win-box joins are locaed abou 70 mm in he radial direcion from he winding pack and he join lengh ouside he winding pack is abou 2.3 m. The joins are subjec o Lorenz forces from he ineracion of he join curren wih magneic field generaed by coils and plasma curren. Slide 20
Terminal Connecion Thermal conracion (when coil cool down o 4K) and EM forces are acing on he erminals The erminal box is designed o carry and ransfer he load o he winding pack and i also needs o be elecrically isolaed Heavy componens, some wih igh olerances The erminal box consiss of spacer, can, cenral plae, cenral isolaion plae and clamp for He pipe and win box join.

sulaion breaks Cooling pipe inles and oules mus conain an elecrical insulaing break capable of supporing he ground poenial of he coil The breaks separae he meallic cooling pipes using an insulaed ube (epoxy or ceramic-based) o avoid breakdown hrough he inernal helium. Welding hem ino he supply lines. Only heir assemblies are in he scope of he projec (hey will be provided by ITER Organizaion) Slide 22
Coil Jumpers If faul appears during he operaion due o: Elecrical shor beween he wo conducors Helium leak hrough Jacke or join Box he fauled DP joins (on he coil ouer radius) o be disconneced he jumpers cables o be brough and conneced hem o he remaining good DPs. The join insulaion and helium pipes o be Rebuil/checked All he aciviy needed in case a faul are ou of he scope of he projec. Slide 23
Clamp & Proecion cover Coil clamps, ~1 m wide (~ 4.8 T for PF5), are equally spaced around he winding pack. Only heir assemblies are in he scope of he projec (hey will be provided by China Domesic agency) The winding body wih ground insulaion, high poenial cooling pipes from all joins and erminaions of he coil are covered by proecion cover (included in he scope) The proecion covers consiss of secion of recangular box of 304L seel, which surrounds he four sides of he coils beween he PF clamp suppors. Proecion cover suppor clamps Slide 24
