摘要：
During the ITER Model Coil program two large coils and three insert coils were built and tested. The test campaigns provided very valuable data on the cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) properties. The tests showed that the Nb3Sn strands in CICC behave differently than so-called witness strands, which underwent the same heat treatment. The paper describes volt-temperature characteristics (VTC) and volt-ampere characteristics (VAC) measured in the tests, presents comparisons with the witness strands, and interprets the test results.
