ITER Toroidal Field Coils
Wrapping and insulating the conductor
Time lapse
Fusion For Energy
ASG - La Spezia - Italy
After the conductor is placed inside the grooves of the radial plate, we need to start wrapping the electrical insulation around it. The electrical insulation is composed of several layer of glass-kapton tape wrapped around the conductor. 12 trolleys run at a fixed distance along the trajectory of the conductor in order to lift the conductor, wrap the insulation around it and finally place it back inside the grooves of the radial plate.
