The sample was made of two TF conductor sections manufactured from identical internal stannum strands provided by the Oxford ~upercon- cluctlng technology company (OST). In order to evaluate the conductor performance, the current sharing temperature (Tcs) was measured at specified electromagnetic load cycling steps. Both conductor sections of the CNTF1 sample showed identical performance. Tcs was 7.2 K before cycling loading, and 6.9 K even after 950 cycles, without significant degradation, which substan- tially exceeds the ITER requirement of 5.7 K.
