CORC^® POWER CABLES AND CRYOGENIC INTERFACES

CORC^® cables and wires form our solution for power cable needs in liquid nitrogen or pressurized helium gas:
– High operating currents and current densities
– Voltage rating up to 10 kV
– Fault Current Limiting capabilities

CORC^® power and Fault Current Limiting cables and wires haveg developed with support of the U.S. Navy and in collaboration with the Center for Advanced Power Systems at Florida State University and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
