Abstract

The KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) prototype TF (Toroidal Field) coil was tested in the superconducting coil test facility in KBSI (Korea basic Science Institute). The test was divided into several campaigns according to the objectives. The objectives of the first campaign were to cool the coil into operating temperature and to find any defect in the coil such as cold leaks. From the results of the first campaign, which was carried out during Jan. 2003, any defect in the TF prototype coil was not found. At the second campaign, the large-current charging experiment was one of the major issues, and was carried out during Aug. 2003 In this paper, the test preparation, and the test results of the second campaign were presented.
