In the proto-toroidal program in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) whose purpose was the development of 30 kA-12 T scale forced-cooled superconductors for the toroidal coils of the fusion machines, many kinds of research and development work were planned and have been performed from the standpoint of engineering. As one of them, this experimental work reported here was designed and carried out to investigate the stability performance of the cable-in-conduit type conductor placing the focus on its dependency on the strand diameter. Effect of strand diameter on the stability of the cable-in-conduit type superconductor was investigated experimentally. The cable-in-conduit type conductor is widely adopted in the design of large superconducting magnets and its properties have been studied. Present experiment was planned and performed to clarify the relation between the stability and the strand diameter or cooling perimeter. As a result of a series of present experiment, it was confirmed that the recovery capacity of the cable-in-conduit type superconductor from the normal transition was in proportion to the cooling perimeter of the cable.
