Superconductor cable or superconductor cable-in-conduit-conductor with clocking feature

摘要

Superconductor cable or superconductor cable-in-conduit-conductor having a plurality of generally flat, ribbon-shaped superconductor tapes assembled to form a single stack or multiple stacks or a plurality of round or nearly round superconducting wires assembled to form a single bundle or multiple bundles. The superconductor cable or superconductor cable-in-conduit-conductor has at least one or more clocking features that identify its angular position with respect to the background magnetic field. Multiple types and geometries of superconductor cables and superconductor cable-in-conduit-conductor are disclosed. Superconductor power cable disposed within and separated from an electrical insulator with a space passing cryo-coolant between the superconducting cable and insulator is also disclosed.
