Low Temperature Tests of Central Solenoid Assembly in EAST Poloidal Field Being Prepared

low temperature tests of  central solenoid assembly in poloidal field has been prepared. The scale of this test is the largest in all  low temperature tests of superconducting magnetic

Central solenoid assembly of magnetic system in EAST poloidal field is composed of 6 central solenoid magnetic coil of the same size. After the assembly, the height reaches 3400 mm and the weight reaches 14 tons. The cable-in-conduct conductor  of 3420 meters is composed of 12 current lead-wires, 24 stub tubes, 48 detecting wires.

All the staff relating to the test designed the testing project carefully and worked day and night. They all expected for the success of the test.  (Zhu Ning, Shi Lin  report.)
