HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING CABLE AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A high temperature superconducting cable comprises a tubular support, a plurality of superconducting tapes spirally wound onto said support so as to form one or more superconducting layers, electroinsulating means for the superconducting layer, refrigerating means and thermal insulation means to keep the superconducting layer below a predetermined working temperature. According to the invention, the superconducting tapes comprise superconducting material enclosed by a metal covering to which at least a metal strip is connected.
