the cryostat and the shields are at the same potential. Still, high-voltage tests,
performed at the Paschen minimum, can be regarded as an important part of a
procedure used to monitor the electrical insulation at different stages of coil
manufacturing.
The ITER coils’ electrical strength is provided by the hard turn and ground
insulation. That is why the comparison of different insulation technical options
