1. NCSX B. Nelson for the NCSX Engineering Team NCSX modular coil cooling workshop June 10-11, 2004 PPPL NCSX Modular Coil Cooling Requirements and Initial Design

2. NCSX June 10-11, 2004NCSX modular coil cooling workshopB. Nelson 2 Coil system requirements Meet Performance and flexibility requirements –Up to 2 T, 15 minute rep rate –Independent control of modular and PF coils Minimize magnetic field errors: Limit islands to < 10% of toroidal flux –Windings must have +/- 1.5 mm installed accuracy –Magnetic permeability < 1.02 –minimum perturbations from leads, crossovers, etc. Accommodate access for tangential NBI, RF, vacuum pumping, diagnostics and personnel access Ensure voltage and current requirements match D-site power supplies Coils must be buildable
