Abstract :
This paper describes the design and fabrication of four sets of HTc 600 A current leads manufactured by ANTEC in collaboration with three more Institutes to test the feasibility of industrial fabrication of these units. This development has been made in the framework of a CERN programme to build low thermal losses leads for the correction magnets of the LHC. Tests performed at the manufacturer installations are also presented
