Abstract

ITER correction coils (CCs) feeder is the important component of ITER feeder systems to supply the cryogens and electrical power for CCs. They should withstand the huge electromagnetic (EM) force and high thermal shrinkage. Considering the EM and thermal loads, mechanical analysis is performed to qualify the structural strength of the lower CC feeder. Results show that containment duct and cryopipe can meet the static criteria but busbar jacket cannot meet. It is proposed that more supports should be added at the corners for the busbar. Basically, the lower CC feeder design is valid and feasible.
