SUPERCONDUCTING CABLE

摘要

A superconductive cable is provided which upon normal state, restricts flowing of electric current to a former to the maximum extent to thereby keep a cryogenic state in the superconductive cable stable. The superconductive cable includes a former surrounded by a superconductive layer and a cryostat provided at the outside of the superconductive layer, wherein the former includes a metal wire- wound part around which a plurality of wires is wound and an eddy-current prevention layer provided on the outer face of the wire- wound part, and the metal wires and the eddy-current prevention layer are made of a copper alloy.
