Abstract :
A 12.5 T superconducting dipole magnet (European DIPOle, EDIPO) has been designed by EFDA and it is now being procured within the framework of the European Fusion Programme in order to be installed in CRPP-PSI. This saddle-shaped magnet is designed to reach 12.5 T in a 100 times 150 mm rectangular bore over a length of about 1.5 m in order to test full size conductor samples that shall be produced during the ITER magnets procurement. The magnet uses Cable In Conduit Conductor (CICC) technology and the cables are made of high Jc (about 2300 A/mm2 at 4.2 K, 12 T) superconducting strands. In this paper the main magnet parameters are given together with the key supporting electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal analyses. An update on the general status of the procurement of the strand, conductors, dipole magnet and facility is also given together with the key results of the on-going supporting R&D.
