Abstract
⺠KIT is responsible for design, production and test of the HTS current leads for W7-X. In total 14 current leads with a max. current of 18.2 kA are required. ⺠Final acceptance test of the current leads performed at KIT using a test cryostat connected to the main vacuum vessel of the TOSKA facility. ⺠In general the performance of the leads is excellent and reproducible. ⺠Problems during series production and test related to electrical insulation, leak tightness, contact resistance between current lead and bus bar joint box.
