The United States contributed 75% of the equipment required for ITER’s steady state electrical network, excluding cables and emergency power. The European Union contributed the remaining equipment and was responsible for the design and installation of the system.
The steady state electrical network is an alternating current power substation and distribution system that supplies electrical power to all ITER conventional systems and facilities. A separate system delivers power to the pulsed systems, including the magnet and heating power supplies.
