The effects of cutoff of plasma current on the performance of superconducting toroidal field windings in tokamaks is studied from a theoretical viewpoint. Electromagnetic energy losses and power are calculated in various components of the superconducting toroidal field windings during plasma current cutoff. Heating of the superconducting lead of the superconducting toroidal field windings is calculated during cutoff of plasma current as a function of various structural parameters of the superconducting windings.
