Central Solenoid (CS) model coil program is a backbone activity of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Engineering Design Activities (EDA). The CS model coil has been developed to demonstrate the ITER real CS coil by international collaborations. The first charge test of the CS model coil and CS insert coil was carried out from April to August 2000 success. It achieved 13T of the maximum magnetic flux density with DC and pulse operation. A performance test of the CS model coil and CS insert was done under relevant conditions of real ITER coils. The mechanical performance of the CS model coil and the CS insert coil is discussed. And the temperature rise during coil charge is also reported.
