Record current of 4101 A at 19.8 T background field achieved in a high-temperature superconducting cable
A high-temperature superconducting cable was successfully tested in a background field of 19.8 T at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The CORC cable was wound from 40 superconducting tapes and had an outer diameter of only 7.5 mm. The cable carried a superconducting current of 4101 A at a temperature of 4.2 K in a …
