Abstract
High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) consisting of Bi-2223 HTS tape s sheathed with Ag alloys are proposed for a 20-kA current lead for th e planned stellarator WENDELSTEIN 7-X. Forced-flow He cooling is used, and 4-K He cooling of the whole lead, as well as 60-K He cooling of t he copper part of the lead, is discussed. Power consumption and behavi or in the event of loss of He flow are given.
