Design Philosophy - Simplicity, symmetry, conservatism. - Viewing capability and good access to electrodes. - All connections to PF coils from top and bottom flanges, external to Machine. - Bellows in coil feedthroughts for adjustment. - Operation and disruption (but no fault) conditions considered. The Joint Meeting of 4 th IAEA Technical Meeting on Spherical Tori and 14 th International Workshop on Spherical Torus Frascati, 7 to 10 October 2008
Design Aims üOperationability, Reliability, Repairability of Machine. üReliability of electrodes and avoidance of arc anchoring. üMinimise Technological Risks: provide appropriate elecrical insulation, avoid local coil overheating ( >100°C ) due to hot anode and cathode ( 12 MJ, 2750°C ) üminimise electromagnetic stresses.

Protection Componenets • Thermal and Heat Transfer Behaviour Philosophy: collect the heat ( via radiation ) from the electrodes to black resilient componenet and then conduct or radiate it away in a controlled way. Hot spots are thus avoided. Danger: the hot cathode (less the anode) radiates at 2750°C with ~3. 5 MW/m 2 and even a 10 mm thick coil casing cannot sustain this power density for more than 0. 5 s without exceeding 100°C The Joint Meeting of 4 th IAEA Technical Meeting on Spherical Tori and 14 th International Workshop on Spherical Torus Frascati, 7 to 10 October 2008
Thermal and Heat transfer Behaviour • Solution: 1. Use of Cu componenets to collect or reflect the heat away from coils. Conservative (but symmetrical) design for the anode. Thermal mass of these components results in operational temperature < 100°C. Water cooled! Optimum design; i. e. one circuit/component, D~10 -15 mm, v~2 m/s, duty cycle 5 min. 2. Use of thermocouples in no water cooled componenets to avoid >100°C with frequent pulses; every 5 min. 3. Use of 10 mm divertor AISI 304 LN plates. 2 MW/m 2 for 1 s gives DT~120°C, sth~320 MPa 4. Use of optical diagnostics to view the electrodes which are relatively easily accessible.

Electromagnetic Forces and Stresses B=50 T/s B=500 G t≤ 1 ms Subdivision of Cu and 304 LN plates to achieve ≤ 100 MPa of eddy current stresses. Unaccounted skin effects (t ~1 ms) significant. Conservative prediction of eddy current effects. Electromagnetic forces in the coils (~x 10 weight) require to be sustained.
