Superconductive electric cable
This application describes cable construction, including a cable core comprising a stacked alternate arrangement of conductive bands and insulating bands. The stack is supported within a duct carrying a cryogenic fluid capable of contacting directly at least portions of the conductors. Surrounding the fluid-carrying duct, is a thermally insulating envelope. The individual conductors of each stack carry current in a direction opposite to the current flowing in the two conductors adjacent thereto so that the resultant field generated is maintained below the critical value at which the superconductive properties of the conductor may be undesirably affected by this field. Direct currents as well as alternating and multi-phase currents may also be advantageously transmitted by this cable.
