Abstract
An HTS assembly for use in a toroidal field coil having a central column is described. The HTS assembly comprises a plurality of parallel arrays of HTS tapes arranged to pass through the central column, each array comprising a plurality of HTS tapes arranged such that c-axes of all tapes in an array are parallel to each other, and such that planes of the HTS layers of the HTS tapes are perpendicular to a first radius of the central column. Each HTS tape has a c-angle which is an angle between a perpendicular to a plane of an HTS layer of the HTS tape and the c-axis of the tape. The plurality of arrays comprises first and second sets of arrays. Each array within the first set of arrays comprises HTS tapes of a first type having a first c-angle, and each array within the second set of arrays comprises HTS tapes of a second type having a second c-angle which is greater than the first c-angle. The first set of arrays are arranged closer to the first radius than the second set of arrays.
