    摘要: A method of manufacturing an HTS coil is provided. The method comprises winding an HTS coil cable to produce a coil having a plurality of turns. During winding of a turn of the coil, one or more HTS shunt cables are placed adjacent to the previous turn of the coil along a first arc of the coil, and then the turn is wound such that the HTS shunt cable is sandwiched between the turn and the previous turn of the coil such that current can be shared between the HTS shunt cable and the HTS coil cable.

    摘要: A High Temperature Superconductor, HTS, magnet comprising a coil formed of nested concentric windings. Each winding comprises HTS material. The HTS magnet further comprises a conductor element comprising an electrical contact surface through which to supply electric current to a portion of at least one of the windings. The surface provides electrical contact between the conductor element and an axial edge of the coil substantially around the path of the at least one of the windings.

    摘要: A cable for carrying electrical current in a coil of a magnet. The cable comprises a stack of tape assemblies. Each tape assembly has a length and a width, such that the length is much larger than the width, and each tape assembly comprises an HTS layer of anisotropic high temperature superconductor, HTS material, wherein a c-axis of the HTS layer is at a non-zero angle to a vector perpendicular to the plane of the HTS layer. The tape assemblies are stacked as a series of pairs, each pair comprising first and second HTS tape assemblies and a copper layer therebetween. The tape assemblies in each pair are arranged such that the c-axis of the HTS layer of the first HTS tape assembly of each pair have reflective symmetry to the c-axis of the HTS layer of the second HTS tape assembly of each pair about a plane which is parallel to and equidistant from each HTS layer.

    摘要: A high temperature superconducting, HTS, field coil. The HTS field coil comprises a plurality of turns and a partially insulating layer. The plurality of turns comprises HTS material and metallic stabilizer. The partially insulating layer separates the turns, such that current can be shared between turns via the partially insulating layer. The partially insulating layer comprises an electrically conducting layer, and first and second insulating layers. The electrically conducting layer is coated on one side with the first insulating layer and on the other side with the second insulating layer. Each insulating layer has one or more windows through which electrical contact can be made between the turns and the electrically conducting layer. The windows in the first insulating layer are offset in the plane of the electrically conducting strip from the windows in the second insulating layer.

    摘要: A toroidal field coil for generating a toroidal magnetic field in a nuclear fusion reactor comprising a toroidal plasma chamber having a central column. The toroidal field coil comprises a portion passing through the central column. The portion passing through the central chamber comprises: ●a low temperature superconductor, LTS, layer (21) formed from LTS; ●a high temperature superconductor, HTS, layer (22) formed from HTS and located radially outward of the LTS layer. ●a non-superconducting conductive layer (23) formed from electrically conducting, non-superconducting material and located radially outward of the HTS and LTS layers.

    摘要: A method of protecting a superconducting magnet from quenches, the superconducting magnet having at least one primary coil comprising high temperature superconductor, HTS, material. A secondary HTS tape is provided, the secondary HTS tape being in proximity to and electrically insulated from the primary coil, and being configured to cease superconducting at a lower temperature than the primary coil during operation of the magnet. A loss of superconductivity in the secondary HTS tape is detected. In response to said detection, energy is dumped from the primary coil into an external resistive load.
