INTERMEDIATE JOINT OF SUPERCONDUCTING CABLE

摘要

An intermediate joint of a superconducting cable for connecting superconducting cables each having a former, a superconductor, and an insulating layer. The intermediate joint of a superconducting cable can be reduced in size by fitting a connection sleeve over the end part of respective formers brought into abutment, compression-connecting the formers in such a manner that the outer diameter of the connection sleeve is equal to the outer diameter of the former, and then connecting the superconductors each other which are brought into abutment with the outside of the connection sleeve while equalizing the outer diameter to that of the superconductor in the superconducting cable.
