Abstract

New poloidal field (PF) coils and supports have been designed for the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) Recovery project. The PF1A coil structural requirements demand a large preload to pre-compress the coil insulation. Coil support design accounts for all operational conditions and loads of NSTX-U including bakeout, seismic events, and electromagnetic loads. Background magnetic fields produce coil Lorentz forces that react on the structural supports. These Lorentz forces include interactions from the coil current and all plasma events: normal operations, disruptions, and vertical displacement events. This paper will detail the design and design loads and highlight some of the analyses.
