Patent number: 6972376Abstract: In order to provide a flexible oxide superconducting cable which is reduced in AC loss, tape-shaped superconducting wires covered with a stabilizing metal are wound on a flexible former. The superconducting wires are preferably laid on the former at a bending strain of not more than 0.2 %. In laying on the former, a number of tape-shaped superconducting wires are laid on a core member in a side-by-side manner, to form a first layer. A prescribed number of tape-shaped superconducting wires are laid on top of the first layer in a side-by-side manner, to form a second layer. The former may be made of a metal, plastic, reinforced plastic, polymer, or a composite and provides flexibility to the superconducting wires and the cable formed therewith.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: Southwire CompanyInventors: Raburn L. Hughey, Uday K. Sinha, David S. Reece, Albert C. Muller

Patent number: 4487991Abstract: A high voltage oil-impregnated electrical cable with fully polymer taped insulation operable to 765 kV. Biaxially oriented, specially processed, polyethylene, polybutene or polypropylene tape with an embossed pattern is wound in multiple layers over a conductive core with a permeable screen around the insulation. Conventional oil which closely matches the dielectric constant of the tape is used, and the cable can be impregnated after field installation because of its excellent impregnation characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1983Date of Patent: December 11, 1984Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of EnergyInventors: Eric B.
