Description

A high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable system of both a length of 4 metre and a normal current of 2 KA with terminations and a cooling system has been built up and tested. The cable conductor was made of Bi-2223 tape. A space maintained vacuum between two corrugated stainless steel tubes functions as the cryostat surrounding the superconductor. A series of tests were carried out to verify the functions of the system. The important data obtained can be used to make longer HTS cable systems
