The paper presents the results of a numerical analysis campaign which studies the steady-state behavior and the typical tests (current-sharing temperature and critical current measurements) foreseen for the SULTAN samples of the ITER TF reference conductor, with special emphasis to the current and electric field distribution among and along the sub-cables. In this analysis, the sample geometrical parameters (twist pitch, joint/termination length) and some electrical parameters (joint, termination and inter-bundle resistance) are supposed to range in their design or their measured boundaries, in order to understand their individual effect on the conductor performances and the test conditions.
