Abstract
The inductive heating method is often used to originate initial normalcy in a stability experiment of a cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC). However, its magnitude cannot be evaluated easily. The calibration method to determine the CICC's inductive heating energy using a calorimetric technique was studied, and the inductive heating energies of two CICCs whose geometries were different from one another were successively evaluated applying this method. In addition, the experimental results show that the eddy currents in the strands and conduit electrically couple separately from one another and that this phenomenon affects the heating energy in the strands and conduit. The inductive heating energy in the strands and conduit was evaluated taking into account this effect.
