  • Patent number: 11402437
    Abstract: A real-time detection/recovery system of a power line failure in a power distribution system, which immediately alerts, shuts off, and recovers power in real-time when a disconnection, a resistance increase, a contact failure, a half-disconnection, or a short circuit occurs in a single-phase power supply side of a three-phase or single-phase power distribution system. A power distribution system can be provided with one or more of a power supply side detection/recovery device and a load side detection/recovery device. The power supply side and load side detection/recovery devices can recover, shut off, alert, notify, or control an electrical failure in a power supply line of a single-phase or three-phase power supply by forming a neutral point with an element electrically/electronically connected to the single-phase or three-phase power supply to ground the neutral point or detect a potential difference between the neutral point and the ground.

  • Patent number: 7953304
    Abstract: Disclosed is a superconducting power cable capable of quench detection, and a quench detection system using the superconducting power cable. The superconducting power cable capable of quench detection includes a former; a superconducting conductor layer composed of a superconducting wire and surrounding the former; a conductor layer quench detection coil interposed between the former and the superconducting conductor layer and surrounding the former; an insulating layer surrounding the superconducting conductor layer; and a shielding layer surrounding the insulating layer. This superconducting power cable may detect quench generated during its operation in real time.

  • Patent number: 7288715
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a high-vacuum-maintaining structure of a superconducting cable. The superconducting cable includes inner and outer metal tubes, and spacers disposed between the inner and outer metal tubes for spacing them by a prescribed distance. To the spacers is attached a gathering material, which serves to adsorb residual gas between the inner and outer metal tubes, thereby maintaining the superconducting cable in a high-vacuum state for a long time, improving thermal insulation performance of the superconducting cable, and reducing cooling costs and maintenance costs required for vacuum pumping thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070191232
    Abstract: Disclosed is a superconductor wire material that configures a conductive layer in a banded state. The superconductor wire material includes a substrate made of metal; at least one buffer layer laminated on the substrate; and a superconductive layer laminated on the buffer layer, wherein, when the superconductor wire material is banded, a banding diameter (D) of the superconductor wire material and a thickness (t) of the substrate have the following relation: {t(D+t)}<0.004. Thus, when the superconductor wire material is banded, it is possible to inhibit a crack from being generated between the buffer layer and the superconductive layer of the superconductor wire material.
