  • Publication number: 20110203829
    Abstract: A superconducting cable having wide-width superconducting strip lines. The superconducting cable having wide-width superconducting strip lines includes, from the center of the cable, a former, a superconducting layer, an electronic insulation layer, and a superconducting shield layer. The superconducting layer is formed as a plurality of superconducting strip lines spirally wound around the circumference of the former, and each of the strip lines has a rectangular cross section. The strip lines are, respectively, made up of a wide-width strip line of which the ratio of the width to the thickness is within the range of 20 to 30. The cable may prevent to deteriorate the efficiency of the cable, by reducing the vertical element of the magnetic field occurred around the strip lines. The structure disclosed herein may reduce the whole intensity of the magnetic field, and reduce the whole outer diameter of the cable.
