Definitions

  • the plastic insulation is designed as a tubular carrier that is flexible at room temperature, and the inner and outer conductors each consist of a ribbon made up of both a superconducting metal and an electrically normal-conducting metal which is wound in a single-layer helix form.
  • the helix forming the inner conductor is in contact with the inside of the plastic tubular carrier while the helix forming the outer conductor is wound on the outside of such plastic tubular carrier.
  • the cable can be assembled from prefabricated sections.
  • the inner conductor and the outer conductor of a coaxial conductor pair consist in these known cables of rigid tubes, preferably of an electrically normalconducting metal of high electrical conductivity, such as very pure copper or aluminum, onto which the superconducting material is applied in the form of a layer.
  • an electrically normalconducting metal of high electrical conductivity such as very pure copper or aluminum
  • Pure niobium and lead have been found to be particularly suitable superconducting materials for 50 Hz alternating current because these superconducting materials have very low hysteresis losses, provided that in the operation of the cable a lower critical magnetic field limit H is not exceeded.
  • the latter is arranged on the outside of the inner tube and on the inside of the outer tube of the coaxial conductor pairs.
  • a coolant such as liquid helium flows in the coolant pipe within'the tubular inner conductor and on the outside of the tubular outer conductor.
  • the inner and outer conductors are in direct contact with the coolant and are cooled substantially thereby.
  • the coolant pipe itself is surrounded by a tubular radiation shield, which is cooled, for instance, by nitrogen, and this shield is in turn surrounded by an outer protective tube.
  • the space between the coolant pipe and the outer protective tube is evacuated during the operation of the cable for the purpose of thermal insulation.
  • Thin plastic films which may, for instance, be coated with a reflecting metallic ble
  • the coolant pipe, the radiation shield and the outer protective tube are made of rigid tubes, as is well known.
  • Such rigid tubes can be supported against each other by means of relatively few spacers of material with low heat conductivity.
  • these rigid tubes are assembled at the point of installation from individual sections.
  • expansion-equalizing sections, and in particular, corrugatedsections can be provided for equalizing thedif. ferent material shrinkages when cooling down, particularly in the coolant pipe and in the radiation shield.
  • the inner and outer conductors of the individual coaxial conductor pairs which consist of rigid tubes, must also be assembled from sections at the point of installation. For shipping reasons, the length of these sections should not exceed 20 to 50 meters. This leads to a mu]- tiplicity of joints, at which the superconducting layers situated on the sections must be connected with each other, for instance, by welding. Besides the large technical effort required therefor, the probability of defective welds increases, of course, with an increasing number of welds, with the consequent probability of an impairment of the current-carrying capacity of the superconductors. Furthermore, the expansion compensation presents considerable difficulties with such rigid tube coated with superconducting material.
  • the present invention provides a superconducting cable having at least one coaxial pair of conductors separated from each other by insulation of plastic materials, wherein such plastic material insulation is designed as a tubular carrier which is flexible at room temperature, and the inner and outer conductors each consist of ribbon which is made up of a superconducting metal and an electrically normal-conducting metal which is wound into a single-layer helix.
  • the helix forming the inner conductor makes contact with the inside of the tubular carrier, and the helix forming the outer conductor is wound on the outside of the tubular carrier.
  • a conductor pair rnadeaccording to the present in.- vention can be manufactured in long sections of, for instance, several hundred meters, and can be transported to the place of installation where they are inserted into the coolant pipe of the cable. If the cable is so long that the conductor pairs must be assembled from prefabricated sections, which will generally be the case, the number of joints along the cable at which the superconductors must be connected in the installation, is considerably reduced due to the great length of the sections. Since the plastic insulation is designed as a carrier tube, a simple mechanical construction is obtained, and sufficient mechanical stability of the conductor pair is assured at the same time.
  • the inner and outer conductors, consisting respectively of a single-layer helix are sufficiently flexible and are held mechanically by the plastic carrier tube. The helixes are directly wetted by the coolant, which during the operation of the cable flows through the interior of the tubular carrier and along its outside, and are therefore cooled exceedingly well.
  • Niobium, and also lead, are suitable for use as the superconductor material for the a-c cable.
  • Copper and aluminum are suitable as the electrically normalconducting metals which provide for the electrical stabilization of the superconductors.
  • Electrically normalconducting metals are understood in this context to be metals which have normal electric conductivity at the operating temperature of, for instance, about 4 to 5 K, which is necessary to bring about the superconducting state.
  • the ribbons forming the inner and outer conductors consist of a superconducting and an electrically normal-conducting layer, the superconducting layer always facing the tubular carrier.
  • This arrangement is advantageous in that the normal-conducting layers are outside the space occupied by the field between the superconductors, thereby avoiding a-c losses in the normal-conducting metal.
  • the helixes are, in addition, wound in such a manner that the ribbon edges of the adjacent turns of each helix lie closely together or overlap slightly with their superconducting layers, even after being cooled down to the low operating temperature of the cable which is necessary to bring about superconductivity.
  • the superconducting layer extend at one ribbon edge over the normal-conducting layer and be set back at the other ribber edge with respect to the normal-conducting layer.
  • expansion compensation is readily possible.
  • the plastic materials should, first of all, have a dielectric strength as high as possible so that the wall thickness of the carrier tube and thereby the diameter of the outer conductor can be kept as small as possible. While the diameter of the inner conductor must be so large that the maximum permissible magnetic field at the surface of the inner conductor is not exceeded, the diameter of the outer conductor depends essentially on the dielectric strength of the insulating carrier tube.
  • a small outer-conductor diameter facilitates winding the conductor pairs on drums and further permits the diameter, and therefore the surface, of the coolant pipe and the other tubes of the cable to be maintained small, which in turn leads to a reduction of the thermal losses which are proportional to the size of the cable surface,
  • the dielectric losses generated in the insulating carrier tube must be removed through the liquid coolant, these losses should also be maintained as small as possible.
  • the tangent of the loss angle 5 of the plastic materials used for the carrier tube should therefore be in the order of about at a temperature of about 4 to 5 K, or even smaller.
  • the plastic should furthermore have a low dielectric coefficient. It is also advantageous if the elastic tensile stress limit of the insulating carrier tube is higher than the tensile stress that occurs if the carrier tube is cooled down to the operating temperature, at which pointthe tensile stress is equal to the product of Young's modulus and the contraction.
  • the tubular plastic carrier of the conductor pair section can advantageously consist of a single continuous piece.
  • Suitable plastic materials are, for example, polyethylene, polytetrafluorethylene and polyamides, such as nylon.
  • the tubularcarrier After cooling down to the low operating temperature of the cable, no cracks should further occur in the insulating carrier tube, which would otherwise lead to a reduction of the dielectric strength.
  • the already-mentioned plastic materials have no tendency to form cracks under normal conditions, it is nevertheless advantageous, for safety reasons, to build up the tubularcarrier from two coaxial plastic tubes which are flexible at room temperature, and a multi-layer winding of plastic film arranged between these tubes.
  • the two coaxial plastic tubes which can be kept relatively thin, also provide the mechanical stability, while high dielectric strength is obtained by the multi-layer winding of plastic film. It is particularly advantageous if the two plastic tubes are imperious to the coolant, so that no coolant can penetrate into the insulation and the formation of coolant vapor bubbles within the insulation is prevented.
  • plastic tubes of nylon braid which have been densified by a heat treatment, while the plastic film wound in between the plastic tubes consists of polyethylene fiber or polytetrafluorethylene fiber paper.
  • the'tubular carrier of a conductor pair section can consist of several joined-together, mechanically engaging tube sections. Through such a design, relief of the tubular carrier of tensile stresses occuring upon cooling down can be obtained.
  • Joining of the individual conductor pair sections is accomplished in a simple manner whereby the outside diameter of the tubular carriers is reduced at the junctions between two conductor pair sections at their ends and a section of tubing is inserted into the latter for the purpose of joining the tubular carriers.
  • the inner conductors of the conductor pair sections are then connected with each other at the outside of this section of tubing.
  • Several insulating sleeves of half-shells are placed over the joint and the tubular carrier ends with their reduced outside diameters, these sleeves being placed on top of and displaced against each other, for the purpose of insulation.
