관로내 케이블 포설시 케이블 허용장력이 포설장력을 초과하지 않도록 주의해야 한다. 또한, 케이블 포설 도중 Kink가 발생하지 않도록 케이블 드럼을 반드시 세워서 포설해야 하고, 케이블 드럼을 눕혀서 포설해서는 안 된다. 또한, 허용전류를 고려하여 케이블 상호간의 간격을 일정하게 유지해야 한다. 관로 내 케이블을 설치할 경우 직선구간 뿐 아니라 굴곡구간에도 설치되므로 포설측압이 허용측압을 초과하지 않도록 시설해야 한다. 측압에 견디기 위해서는 케이블 포설시 곡률 반경을 케이블 외경의 10배 이상으로 유지하는 것이 중요하다.

The developed in-flex system completed the wiring work with the plug-in connection. To maintain electrical and mechanical stability, and an insulation between the conductors was strengthened by forming a partition. Moreover, the error according to a bad connection was prevented by separating the inlet from the outlet of the electric trace and thus the quick construction become possible. The metal reinforcing material was added outside the upper case and lower case. The fire-resistance efficiency was maximized in order to minimize a damage by the fire. As to the developed system, we found that it takes shorter time to complete installation than the rigid steel conduit wiring work, and that about 25 % of construction cost was saved because the labor costs decrease due to the shorter construction period of time.

The mission of SSTF is test of superconducting cables for KSTAR magnets. To make realistic environment for superconductor in SSTF, background magnets are required. Cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) are widely used for large scale superconducting magnets such as ITER and KSTAR. Main design criteria for conductor of superconducting magnets are stability, operating margin and cable cooling requirement, caused by peak field and the gradient of fields with respect to time, in system. ZERODEE which used energy balance method, is applied for the calculation of stability. To increase conductor performance, three different strands, such as HP-I, HP-II, and HP-III, are tested. The present configuration of CICC is used for main coils of background magnet in SSTF and Central Solenoid coils of KSTAR magnets.

The large scale magnets like thermalnuclear fusion devices are necessary for superconducting CICC cable, When the Cable In Conduit Conductors(CICC) is occurred by the external turbulence, the CICC occurs to quench, The CICC can be broken because the CICC spends all energy in the quench-happened spot. Therefore, it is necessary to develop measurement systems of the quench detection. The measurement systems of the relative good degree of efficiency are the voltage tap sensors. The weak points of voltage tap sensors are effected by EMF noise and inductance. The thermalnuclear fusion devices easily can't measure inductance value because of plasma current. In the experiment, The value of inductance was estimated by FEM techniques and the decrement of Inductance value measured as long as remaining plasma current.

The test results of the ITER toroidal field conductors demonstrated a decrease of the current sharing temperature (Tcs) with an increase in the number of electromagnetic cycles in general. This is associating with several factors. One of them is the superconducting Nb3Sn filaments cracking and another one is the redistribution of the relative deformation of the Nb3Sn strands under Lorentz forces. Despite these factors, some conductors have shown the absence or significantly less degradation of Tcs during electromagnetic cycling. This article considers another possible reason for a more stable conductors Tcs behavior, namely, the local compression of Nb3Sn wires in the cross section of a conductor. In this article presents the results of a quantitative analysis Nb3Sn superconducting filaments cracking of strands extracted from a conductor that has passed electromagnetic cycling and the model of a conductor compaction, as well as calculation results based on this model are presented also.

Since the strand-to-strand type joint far CICC (Cable-In-Conduit Conductor) is small in size and has low DC resistance, it is expected to be useful type fur a superconducting magnet system which had a compact structure like the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) coil system. The DC resistance is changed according to the distribution patterns of strands in cables connected together in the joint. A commercial code was used for the calculation of the DC resistance. With the decrease of outer diameter of the Joint, Which means the increase of strand volume fraction in the joint, the calculated DC resistance decrease rapidly and non-lineally. The variation of resistance depends mainly on the volume fraction of solder which has higher resistivity than copper. The resistance decrease inversely with the increase of the length of the joint. The resistance increase with increase of number of triplets in each stack contacted with that of another terminal cable. In case of the strand-to-strand joint that has 62mm of outer diameter, 52mm of inner diameter, 100mm of overlap length, and four triplets in each stack, the calculated DC resistance is less than 1 n-Ohm.

A superconducting CICC (Cable-In-Conduit-Conductor) is adopted the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) superconducting magnet system which consists of 16 TF coils and 14 PF coils. For the test of KSTAR CICC, an ambient magnetic field of $\pm$ 8 T With a maximum change rate of 20 T/s is required and a background-field magnet system is being developed for SSTF (Samsung Superconductor Test Facility). The CICC for PF1~5 is used as the conductor for background-field coils to check the validity of the PF CICC design. Two pieces of cables have been fabricated and the cable has the length of 870 m and the diameter of 20.3 mm. A continuous CICC jacketing system is developed for the KSTAR CICC fabrication and the jacketing system uses the tube-mill process, which consists of forming, welding, sizing and squaring procedures. The design specification of CICCs and the fabrication process is described.

It is important to predict AC loss in $Nb_3Sn$ and NbTi cable-in-conduit-conductor (CICC) reliably for the design and operation of large superconducting coils. The hysteresis loss in the superconducting filaments and coupling loss within strands and among strands in a cable or composite are dominant ac losses in superconducting magnets. The coupling loss in a superconductor can be characterized by identifying the coupling constant time $n{\tau}$. To reduce the coupling loss, all the strands (superconductor and Cu) in KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advance Research) are chromium plated with thickness of $l{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$. The ac losses of PF1, PF5 and PF6 coils has been measured by calorimetric method while applying trapezoidal current pulses with various ramp rate from 0.5 kA/s to 2 kA/s. The coupling time constants for $Nb_3Sn$ coils are $25{\sim}55$ ms and the values are not co-related with the coil size, the time constants for NbTi coil is 30 ms.

The thermal analysis of an underground power conduit for electrical cables is essential to determine their current capacity with an increasing number of demands for high-voltage underground cables. The temperature rises around a buried cable, caused by excessive heat dissipation, may increase considerably the thermal resistance of the cables, leading to the danger of "thermal runaway" or damaging to insulators. It is a key design factor to develop the mechanism on thermal behavior of backfilling materials for underground power conduits. With a full-scale field test, a numerical model was developed to estimate the temperature change as well as the thermal resistance existing between an underground power conduit and backfill materials. In comparison with the field test, the numerical model for analyzing thermal behavior depending on density, moisture content and soil constituents is verified by the one-year-long field measurement.

초고압케이블을 관로식으로 포설할 경우 케이블 포설장력이 증가함에 따라 측압은 커지게 된다. 측압은 지중관로 내 케이블 포설시 도르래 및 굴곡부에서 발생하는 관로 내면과 케이블 사이의 압력을 의미하며, 단심배열의 경우 곡률반경과 장력에 의존한다. 케이블의 측압을 정확하게 알고 안전성에 기초하여 장경간 포설을 한다면, 케이블 포설 시 긴 케이블 조장에 따라 접속함과 굴착개소의 감소로 이어지기 때문에 원가절감 뿐 아니라 공기 단축 차원에서도 큰 역할을 할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 케이블 측압은 포설 장력을 이용하여 계산되기 때문에 실제 측압과 오차가 발생할 수 있으며, 정확한 장력을 케이블에 인가하는것 또한 어려운 일이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 케이블 포설시 발생하는 측압을 작용시키며, 장력을 케이블에 정확히 인가할 수 있는 측정기기 개발에 관한 내용을 정리하였다.
