Abstract: When temperature raising is performed, temperature of a superconducting cable is uniformly raised over an entirety of the superconducting cable. The superconducting cable assumes a linear shape when cooled, and deforms into a helical shape when temperature raising is performed. In a former having a twisted wire structure, twisting directions of an outermost layer and a layer next to the outer most layer are set to be the same, enabling stabilization of the helical deformation of the superconducting cable including the former when the temperature raising is performed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a superconducting tape wire, wherein a reduction in critical current in the superconducting tape wire and the effective AC loss are suppressed. To manufacture the superconducting tape wire, the filaments filled with superconducting material powder and having a flat elliptic or rectangular cross section are disposed in a pipe having a shape whose sides in a pressing direction have a smaller length than adjacent sides, and then the pipe is compressed in the short-side direction to form the pipe in a tape shape.
