In order to explore the applicability of superconducting magnets in a magnetic field range of 3 T or less, where superconducting magnets have not been much used so far, a prototype magnet development project has been launched in collaboration with Hanmi Techwin Corporation and Seoul National University. As a result of the project, here we report the design, construction, and operation results of a 2 T 240 mm defect-irrelevant winding (DIW) (RE) Ba2Cu3O7−x (REBCO) magnet. First, design goals were set considering its potential usage in industrial fields, and a 2 T 240 mm-bore multi-width no-insulation high-temperature superconductor magnet was designed accordingly. Based on the design, a total of 15 double pancake (DP) coils were wound, regardless of defects in REBCO tapes, and assembled together. After being installed in a conduction cooling system, the magnet was tested at a temperature of <20 K, and a magnetic field of 2 T at the magnet center was successfully generated with a total of four DP coils containing multiple defects. Based on the experimental results, the additional considerations required for the DIW approach at the magnet level are discussed.
