Method of electrically conductively connecting two superconductive cables

摘要

A method of electrically conductively connecting two superconductive cables includes freeing the conductors and screens of surrounding layers at the ends of the two cables. Subsequently, the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are placed next o each other and parallel to one another in such a way that their free ends point, in the same direction, and the ends are rigidly connected to one another in this position. The conductors and their screens are electrically conductively connected to each other through electrical contact elements (8, 9) extending transversely of the axial direction. and the two cable ends treated in this manner are arranged in a housing (10) of a cryostat when building up the transmission length which, during operation of the transmission length, a flowable cooling agent with insulating properties flows through the housing.

1. Method of electrically conductively connecting two superconductive cables which each have at least one superconductive conductor surrounded by a dielectric, and an electrically effective screen arranged above the dielectric, where the conductors and screens to be connected to each other are at first freed at the ends of both cables of surrounding layers and are subsequently electrically conductively connected to each other, said method comprising the steps of:
the ends of the two cables are arranged next to each other and parallel to one another in such a way that their free ends point in the same direction; conductors of the two cables, on the one hand, and their screens on the other hand, are electrically conductively connected to each other through electrical contact elements which extend transversely of their axis of direction; and the two cable ends treated in this manner are arranged, when building up a transmission length for electrical energy, jointly in a housing of a cryostat, in which, when operating the transmission length a flowable cooling agent with insulating properties flows through the cryostat.
