This paper reports on a proof of Principle Experiment (POPE) constructed and conducted to demonstrate the stability and operation of the SMES conductor in the SMES-WISC team's Engineering Test Model (ETM) design. The experimental facility includes: a 100 kA DC power supply; a 4 tesla, 1 meter bore, background field split solenoid; a three turn-1 meter diameter test coil of the ETM conductor, a dewar for operation of the solenoid and test coil at 1.8 K and 1 atmosphere, and support systems for vacuum, helium supply and recovery, and data acquisition. The test facility exactly duplicates the electric, magnetic and thermal conditions expected for the ETM conductor.
