Design and Manufacturing of a 45 kA at 10 T REBCO CORC Cable in Conduit Conductor for Large Scale Magnets
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is developing high current ReBCO CORC strand based cables for use in future large scale detector magnets. A six around one, forced flow gas cooled ReBCO CORC cable in conduit conductor (CICC) is envisioned for application in magnets operating in the 20 40 K temperature range. A CICC, rated for 45 kA at 4.2 K and 10 T, is designed and in production. The CICC comprises a cable of six CORC strands helically wound around a tube. The cable has an expected current density of 105 A/mm2 at 10 T/4.2 K, which corresponds to an overall current density of 53 A/mm2. A cable current density of 110 A/mm2 can be reached when increasing the temperature to 20 K and operating in a magnetic field of 5 T.
