Description
ITER (Nuclear Facility INB-174) Vacuum Vessel is divided into 9 similar sectors where In-Vessel Diagnostics and Operational Instrumentation are located and which require the provision of Electrical Services.
The electrical Services are connected through Feed-outs at the primary vacuum interface and distributed in the vacuum vessel by cable looms ( up to 12 per sector). A cable tail will be routed from a junction box or from the component itself to link into the cable loom.
The routing of the cable tails provide a considerable design challenge due to:
1) Number of the tails (>1500 cable tails)2) Constraints to the in-vessel routing due to other in-vessel attachments and because of the need for shield blanket cut-outs3) Assembly interactions between the tails and other in-vessel components4) Finite loom capacity and in-port marshalling area space restrictions
The manuscript will explain the engineering design of the routing process for each tail from junction box to feed-out and describe the solutions for the specific routing issues of each electrical component inside of the Vacuum Vessel.
The views and opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of the ITER Organization.
