  • Publication number: 20210319938
    Abstract: A toroidal field coil. The toroidal field coil comprises a central column and a plurality of return limbs. Each return limb comprises a plurality of double pancake, DP, coils, the DP coils comprising high temperature superconducting, HTS, tapes. The DP coils are arranged such that a section of the DP coil which passes through the central column is positioned such that the tapes are aligned substantially with the local magnetic field during operation of the toroidal field coil. At least two DP coils at the outside of each return limb are bent about an axis parallel to the central column such that they each curve inwards towards each other.

  • Patent number: 11101060
    Abstract: A high temperature superconducting, HTS, field coil. The HTS field coil comprises a plurality of turns and a partially insulating layer. The plurality of turns comprises HTS material and metallic stabilizer. The partially insulating layer separates the turns, such that current can be shared between turns via the partially insulating layer. The partially insulating layer comprises an electrically conducting layer, and first and second insulating layers. The electrically conducting layer is coated on one side with the first insulating layer and on the other side with the second insulating layer. Each insulating layer has one or more windows through which electrical contact can be made between the turns and the electrically conducting layer. The windows in the first insulating layer are offset in the plane of the electrically conducting strip from the windows in the second insulating layer.
