Abstract
The coupling current-losses of a full size, fusion dedicated Nb3Sn cab le-in-conduit superconductor are measured as a function of the transve rse load in the SULTAN III test facility. Applying a broad range of tr ansport current (up to 56 kA) and background field (up to 12.1 T), the change of the transverse resistance is observed through the shift of the 0-crossing in the pick-up coil voltage. Despite the difficulty to extract useful information from the signal, the role of the strand Cr plating as resistive barrier is experimentally assessed under operatin g conditions. The friction factor of the conductor is also evaluated f ront pressure drop measurements.
