The central solenoid (CS) magnet system of the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device consists of four pairs of segmented CS coils and a CS coil structure. The maximum repulsive force between CS coils is about 12 MN. The functions of the CS structure are to apply preload on the CS coils and to support the repulsive force between CS coils during operation. The designed axial compression of 15 MN at 4.5 K will be applied partly by assembling the preload structure at room temperature with preload of about 13.4 MN and partly by the thermal contraction difference between the CS coils and the structure during cool down. Additional preload will be given by minute adjustment of wedges. The structural analysis of the CS magnet system has been performed to verify the CS structure design reliability.
