Forsyth, E B

This report is on the development of synthetic tape insulation for both cryogenic and ambient temperature power cables. The report begins with an explanation of electrical insulation for superconducting power cables, explaining three major methods of insulating: (1) gas insulated systems, (2) lapped tape insulated conductor impregnated with coolant, and (3) extruded polyethylene insulation. Advantages and disadvantages of the methods are briefly explained, and the development of ambient temperature insulation is also touched upon.
