Sa. Egorov et al., Up-grade of the CICC stability analysis taking into account a current imbalance between strands in multistage cables, IEEE APPL S, 10(1), 2000, pp. 1098-1101
The results of the CICC stability analysis carried-out with newly developed
computer code STABLOS talking into account the effect of current imbalance
between strands and subcables of a 40-50 kA range Nb3Sn conductor of the t
ype used in the ITER Model Coils and Inserts are presented.
The effects of the transverse interstrand resistance, Cu: non-Cu ratio in t
he strands and the cabling stage which the current imbalance is referred to
are considered. The approach uses a previously developed code for the mult
ichannel CICC thermohydraulical analysis.
