Abstract :
This paper demonstrates a practical process for evaluating AC losses of a full-size chrome-plated Nb3Sn cable with key parameters determined from a laboratory-scale single-wire experiment. By using wire specifications given in the engineering design phase as experimental information, this process was applied to estimate AC losses in the inner-most layer of the ITER central solenoid
