Comparison of Critical Current of Bi-2212 Cables With Disassembled Strands

China Fusion Engineering Experimental Reactor (CFETR) is a major scientific project independently designed and developed by China and jointly with international cooperation. Engineering design and project infrastructure construction are currently underway. The design goal of CFETR is 1.5-2.0 GW fusion power, and the central magnetic field is up to 15Tesla, which is much larger than the design parameters of ITER under construction in Europe. In order to achieve the desired high magnetic field, the pre-research of Bi-2212 high temperature superconducting CICC magnet was carried out. The performance test of Bi-2212 cable is the most direct criterion for the successful development of the cable. New cable performance judgment method is proposed because of the long test time and high test cost of sub-size cables. Two cables are manufactured, and one cable is disassembled into single wires for performance evaluation. If the performance of single wires is not significantly attenuated in comparison with the performance of single wires that have not been twisted, we will conduct the second cable critical current test. The test results show that the method of dismantling the cable test is feasible. It is also feasible for cables of different structures. This method can be used to judge the performance of the cable in advance. This method is only suitable for detecting damage in the cable manufacturing process.
