Superconducting cable

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5334644
A description is given of an electric cable having a central superconducting conductor and at least one helical or braided sheath of conductive material covering the central conductor. The superconducting cable has a high electrical stability despite possible localized internal electromagnetic perturbations, is capable of conducting a current for which the maximum intensity is closed to the theoretical maximum intensity, and may be easily and almost instantly adapted for various working conditions. The cable is easy to wind, has a high electrical stability when subjected to external electromagnetic perturbations, and has a high mechanical strength.
