The main elements of the toroidal magnet Ignitor^2 are normal conducting plates each carrying up to 357.5 kA. According to the machine design these plates are to be cooled at 30 K that is the optimal temperature for the material that has been chosen (Copper OFHC) Given the properties of this material a new solution for the cooling of each plate has been adopted. The construction of two prototypical full size plates is underway taking into account the experience gained in the previous construction of 10 plates that were assembled into a full toroidal field coil. The toroidal magnet of Ignitor is made of 24 coils.
