JT-60 is a large Tokamak machine for the investigation of reactor grade plasma. The poloidal magnetic field coil which generates a poloidal magnetic field in a Tokamak is usually operated in a high mechanical stress and a high electrical voltage. Besides, the coil is excited repeatedly with large pulse currents. In order to confirm the reliability of the coil and the validity of the analytical method, the simulated electromagnetic and thermal load tests were performed. Finally, the destructive test was carried out to evaluate the maximum strength of the coil.
