TRATOS (UK) LIMITED

Tratos supplied special HV cable for the development of the beam accelerator for ITER, a 35-country international project designed to harness fusion power for limitless carbon-free energy. ITER, the world’s biggest-ever magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment.
Tratos HV has manufactured for ITER cable in accordance with IEC 60840, incorporating requirements from other relevant standards including IEC 60228; IEC 61443; IEC 60885; and HD632. Constructed with triple layer dry cure XLPE insulation INNER SHEATH and LSZH outer sheath the design controls the stress in the insulation reducing breakdown and leakage current in High Voltage (HV) cable systems. For installations where increased fire performance is required Tratos can supply cables with an LSZH outer sheath.
The ITER Tokamak, designed to produce 500 MW of fusion power for 50 MW of input heating power (a power amplification ratio of 10), will be the largest and most powerful fusion device in the world.
