Back to Toroidal Field Conductor

Gallery

A sample of the 4.37 centimeter in diameter toroidal field cable conductor shows how densely the niobium-tin wire will be compacted within the stainless steel exterior jacketing. The hole in the center will permit liquid helium to flow through the conductor for cooling.

US ITER toroidal field coil conductor production requires miles of niobium-tin superconducting wire.

The 800 meter long jacketing bench at High Performance Magnetics runs parallel to a runway under renovation at Tallahassee Regional Airport.

Superconducting strand is cabled at New England Wire Technologies on 2.5 meter wide by 2 meter tall spools before shipment to Florida for conductor jacketing.
