CORC® FEEDER CABLES

Advanced Conductor Technologies is developing CORC® feeder cables and wires that connect superconducting magnets or power cables to their current leads. CORC® magnet feeder cables can operate at relatively high currents, while being at a significantly higher temperature than the magnet or power cable. The high level of flexibility of CORC® feeder cables also allows for complex cable routing when the space between superconducting application and current leads is confined.

CORC® magnet feeders have been incorporated within the 32 T all-superconducting magnet under development at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The CORC® feeders are rated 600 A and allow for movement of the magnet insert of more than 30 mm with respect to the magnet flange.
