In the context of the ITER contract "ITER/CT/07/219-200 kV Stored Energy Tests", electrical breakdown tests have been performed in vacuum with a stored energy of up to 425 J. The experiments have been conceived and performed with the collaboration of Consorzio RFX. The tests are being performed in the 1 MV test facility at IRFM, CEA-Cadarache. They should simulate the conditions that will be found in the ITER Neutral Beam accelerator, at 200 kV. This paper presents the set-up of the test bed, the choice of critical components, the diagnostic equipments and the results obtained with 200 kV applied on the anode electrode.

Abstract

In the context of the ITER contract "ITER/CT/07/219-200 kV Stored Energy Tests", electrical breakdown tests have been performed in vacuum with a stored energy of up to 425 J. The experiments have been conceived and performed with the collaboration of Consorzio RFX. The tests are being performed in the 1 MV test facility at IRFM, CEA-Cadarache. They should simulate the conditions that will be found in the ITER Neutral Beam accelerator, at 200 kV. This paper presents the set-up of the test bed, the choice of critical components, the diagnostic equipments and the results obtained with 200 kV applied on the anode electrode.
