Penczynski, P

An electrical conductor which is particularly useful in the transmission of three-phase current is described. The conductor comprises an inner conductor made up of a plurality of individual superconducting conductors arranged in a layer and an outer conductor also made up of a plurality of individual superconducting conductors, surrounding the inner conductor concentrically and spaced therefrom, each individual superconductor consisting of a normally conducting carrier coated with a layer of superconducting material in which each carrier is subdivided in the longitudinal direction into at least two parts which are electrically insulating from each other to increase the short circuit current capacity of the conductor.
