Superconducting transmission 23kV/2kA cable-first in Latin America Article uri icon

abstract

  • Two superconducting models of transmission cables were designed, constructed and tested for the first time in Mexico, the 1m model and 5m model with parameters of practical applications 23 kV/2kA. For this purpose also a new cryogenic laboratory was built and equipped with all necessary devices and instruments. For construction of both models, a high critical temperature superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O tape was used. The design, construction and performed tests are briefly described and some preliminary results of test measurements are presented.
