Electromagnetic and Mechanical Design of RFX Magnetizing Winding

This paper presents the RFX Magnetizing Winding design and describes its most significant features. Two numerial codes have been used for the magnetic design and a number of solutions, complying with the design specifications, have been obtained. The most attractive of them have been studied in detail from the electromagnetic point of view and a comparison is given here together with an analysis of the stress states. The finite element procedure used is discussed in the paper and the results of the comparison indicated above are presented together with the main electromagnetic parameters and winding features.
