Abstract
The second test of the DPC-EX fabricated as one of developments of superconducting poloidal coils for fusion machines, has been carried out. The DPC-EX is a winding inner diameter of 1m, wound with a Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductor. In the test, the generation of 7.1 T in 0.5 s was achieved with a high cable space current density of 117 A/mm2. Measurement of ramp rate limitation was carried out and a simple formula was presented for analysis of the results. And it was found that no changes in Tcs and ac losses were appeared before and after 350 pulsed operations. These results show that the reliability of Nb3Sn conductors for large pulse coils was demonstrated.
