Design of 12.5 kA current leads for the Large Hadron Collider using high temperature superconductor material

The Large Hadron Collider will be equipped with about 8000 superconducting magnets. Some 2600 current leads will feed the currents ranging from 25 to 12500 A. CERN aims to reduce the consumption of liquid helium, using high temperature superconductors in these leads. A development of leads for 12.5...

description The Large Hadron Collider will be equipped with about 8000 superconducting magnets. Some 2600 current leads will feed the currents ranging from 25 to 12500 A. CERN aims to reduce the consumption of liquid helium, using high temperature superconductors in these leads. A development of leads for 12.5 kA is being conducted in collaboration with Oxford Instruments. The design options for these leads are described. A test rig and prototype lead have been made according to one of the options. Electrical contact tests are in progress on BSCCO-2212 and YBCO-123 samples. In the first run, the prototype carried 13000 A.
