Magnet Commissioning

Energising the superconducting magnets to full field for the first time.

Milestone

Full field held + quench validated

Magnet commissioning ramps the coils to full field in careful steps, validating quench detection and the energy-dump system along the way. Confirming the magnets hold 16.84 T safely, and quench-protect as designed, is a critical gate before plasma operation.

It is where the magnet technology meets reality.
