Abstract After a conceptual design study for a steady-state Korean fusion demonstration reactor (K-DEMO) was initiated in 2012, the preliminary design of superconducting magnet system which is one of the key components of the K-DEMO has been done in 2015. The superconducting magnet system of K-DEMO has 16 Toroidal Field (TF) coils, 8 Central Solenoids (CS) modules and 12 Poloidal Field (PF) coils which use Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC). For a high 7.4 T magnetic field generation at plasma center, high performance Nb3Sn based superconductor will be developed and used for TF magnet. Starting from the preliminary conceptual design, design updates of K-DEMO TF magnet is being conducted for checking engineering issues. For a validation of the magnet design, thermo-hydraulic stability and mechanical stability are being considered. In this work, the conceptual design studies for updates of K-DEMO TF magnet system is described.
