Engineering > R&D Results > C1 Testing
Testing of the C1 coil was performed on June 15 and 16, 2006.  The test results were summarized by Ray Gernhardt who took the strain gage and thermocouple data from the Coil Test Facility.  Additional data were taken by Hans Schneider (coil resistance data).  Current waveforms archived in NSTX files were provided by Geoff Gettelfinger.  Also included are the results of strain gage tests performed at LN2 temperature prior to installation on C1.
