High-temperature superconductor technology(HTS) is the key technology fortomorrow’s electricity market. Compared with copper conductors, HTS ceramic cableshave a number of signifi cant advantages. For example they can conduct electric current without resistance at app. 200°C below zero. Transmission capacity is five timeshigher than that of conductors made of copper, while current loss is reduced to one tenth. The development of HTS cables is inseparably linked to the name nkt cables. However, nkt cables is not just one of the ...

With nkt cables’ HTS Two-Step™ Installation
approach, the cable joints can spaced up

the cryostat sections are joined together,
and the access holes can closed. This gives higher flexibility
and quicker response the requirements of
each installation site, and above all, reduces
the number cable joints.1).
