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 […]

As published by R&D Magazine: A researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has invented a method of making high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables that are thinner and more flexible than demonstration HTS cables now installed in the electric power grid while carrying the same or more current. The compact cables could be
