PROCESS AND CONNECTION FOR ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING TWO SUPERCONDUCTING CABLES.

摘要

A process for electrically connecting two superconducting cables (12) is characterized in that the cable sheath and/or the high-resistance coating of the superconducting wires are removed, when present, in order to expose the cable strands, the cable strands are beveled at their ends and the beveled surfaces (24) thus obtained at the cable ends (11) are laid on each other and mechanically compressed. A cable connection is also disclosed for electrically connecting two superconducting cables (12) which may be used for producing flat coils or layered windings in which the cable ends (11) freed from the cable envelope are surrounded by a sleeve (15) made of electroconductive material. The cable connection has a connecting casing (13) made of at least two parts which consists of two halves (13, 14) which surround the cable ends (11) and the sleeve (15).
