The stability of multi-strand superconducting cables is substantially influenced by the current
distribution among strands. If the current distribution before quench is not uniform, the …

A method to measure the current distribution in superconducting stranded-cables without
electrical insulation has been developed. Stability property of multi-strand superconducting …

Stability of multi-strand superconducting cables against local disturbances should be
influenced by the current re-distribution among strands in quench or recovery processes …

When a small normal zone is produced in a strand in a superconducting cable by a local
disturbance, current redistribution occurs and can help the recovery of its superconducting …

Stability of multi-strand superconducting cable against local disturbances has been studied
experimentally and theoretically. Quench experiments have been made with a …

In AC multi-strand superconducting cables, AC quench current is much less thanthat of DC.
This AC quench current degradation is caused by AC loss, mechanical damage by cabling …

Quench of multi-strand superconducting cables is often initiated by a local disturbance that
produces a normal zone in one or a few strands in the cable. Once the normal zone is …

In kiloamp (kA) class superconducting cables for ac use, where each strand does not have
an insulation layer, the quench current in 60 Hz operation was found to be no more than …

As the critical current of a single ac superconducting wire cannot be more than several tens
of amperes, such single wires (strands) are bundled and twisted to make cables with a large …

The influence of current redistribution between strands on the quench process in a
superconducting cable is studied. A theoretical model is developed which accounts for non …
