ITER – Bringing the voltage down
ITER Newsline – Bringing the voltage down
By Jeremy Goff | 01 March 2012
High-voltage current from the French grid will be delivered to ITER’s door by the tall pylons that descend, arms outstretched, from the hills of the CEA Cadarache research facility.
ITER’s Coil Power Supply System (CPSS) will convert the 400 kV grid voltage from these lines into controlled direct current in ITER’s 22 magnet coils. The high voltage must be transformed down to a much lower voltage so it can be rectified and delivered at very high current through a huge busbar system to the magnet feeders.
