Installation, thermal curing, qualification testing of divertor and position control coils in ADITYA-U tokamak
The former ADITYA, a medium-sized tokamak with a limiter configuration was upgraded to ADITYA-U tokamak with divertor configuration. Two pairs of new divertor coils, a single pair of auxiliary divertor coils and position control coils have been introduced in ADITYA-U tokamak to achieve shaped plasma operation using the existing Toroidal field, Ohmic transformer and vertical field coils. Currently, copper-based continuous transposed conductor (CTC) has been introduced for in-situ winding of the coils. Coil insulation materials are selected to withstand high current (15 kA), high voltage (5 kV) and sustain high temperature (120 °C) during the experiment. The primary challenge was to install the coil with the bus bar using the same conductor without any joints. The design of new divertor coils mainly includes electrical and thermal considerations within the limited space available for installation. A detailed description of the installation of coils, insulation fabrication, insulation curing process and testing of the divertor coils is presented in this paper.
