First successful test of 10 mm diameter direct current transmission cable at 7550 A

A high-temperature superconducting cable aimed at 5 MW dc-power transmission at 270 V for Department of Defense applications that operate at 55 K has been constructed and successfully tested at 76 K. The flexible cable, which has a outer diameter of only 10 mm, carries a superconducting current of 7550 A during single-phase operation and
