  • Patent number: 9728950
    Abstract: A cryogenic cable termination connector having a small heat inflow from the outside and stable electrical insulation properties. The cryogenic cable termination connector includes a lead-out conductor led out from a site at a very low temperature to a site at room temperature via a liquid refrigerant layer, a refrigerant gas layer, and an oil layer. The lead-out conductor includes a capacitor-cone insulator in which plural metal foils for dividing an electric field from a high voltage level down to the ground voltage level are stacked through an insulator. Among electric field tilting portions in which voltage changes gradually from the high voltage level to the ground voltage level, an electric field tilting portion positioned at a lower part is located in the liquid refrigerant layer and an electric field tilting portion positioned at an upper part is located in the oil layer.

  • Patent number: 9570214
    Abstract: In a superconducting cable line in which a superconducting cable is connected to a terminal connecting part or an intermediate connecting part, an offset part in which a superconducting cable is laid in a curved-shape is provided near the terminal connecting part or the intermediate connecting part. Further, when it is assumed that the superconducting cable is movable in the offset part, an external tube of the superconducting cable is fixed such that a maximum amplitude part which maximizes the amount of movement of the superconducting cable following thermal expansion and contraction of a cable core becomes immovable.

  • Patent number: 9251932
    Abstract: A terminal connecting part has: a low temperature container filled with a cooling medium; a conductor current lead which has one end immersed in the cooling medium and the other end led to a normal temperature part; and a conductor movable connecting terminal which electrically connects a superconductive conductor layer and the conductor current lead of a superconducting cable. The superconductive conductor layer of the superconducting cable stripped stepwise from a front end is connected to the conductor current lead through the conductor movable connecting terminal. The cable core of the superconducting cable is movable in a longitudinal direction and is rotatable in a circumferential direction while maintaining electrical connection between the superconductive conductor layer and the conductor current lead. The cable core is horizontally supported in the low temperature container.

  • Patent number: 6627820
    Abstract: An organic composite insulator (tube) and method for production thereof giving an external flashover characteristic, enabling a reduction of the cost, and enabling a reduction of the size of the insulator. The outside diameters of the insulator sheath body and watersheds at only the intermediate insulator sheath (3c) corresponding to the vicinity of the tip (6a) of the top of the inside electrode (6) are made larger than the outside diameters of the body and watersheds of the upper and lower insulator sheaths (3a) and (3b). The electric field of the sheath surface in the vicinity of the tip (6a) of the top of the inside electrode (6) exhibiting the maximum electric field in the large size insulator is weakened and the maximum electric field part is moved to the top portion of the sheath body and watersheds enlarged in inside diameter.
