TERMINAL STRUCTURE OF SUPERCONDUCTING CABLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a terminal structure in a superconducting cable which may improve the connection reliability when the superconducting cable having a multilayer structure is connected with multiple lead-out conductors.SOLUTION: A superconducting cable 110 penetrates through cylindrical electrodes 120-1, 120-2, and superconducting tapes 115, 113 of the superconducting cable 110 are electrically connected with outer surfaces of the cylindrical electrodes 120-1, 120-2. A cushioning material 140 is provided between the superconducting cable 110 and the cylindrical electrode 120-1 through which the superconducting cable 110 penetrates. The structure prevents the damage of the superconducting tape 113 which results from contact of an outer surface of the superconducting cable with an inner surface of the cylindrical electrode 120-1. As a result, the connection reliability can be improved.
