Long term operation in 200 m class superconducting DC power transmission test facility in Chubu University

摘要

We constructed the 200 m class superconducting DC power transmission test facility (CASER-2) in 2010, and have carried out the cooling down and operation test. The 5th cooling down and operation test was carried out from August to November 2012. Long term current feeding was tested for a month with various currents and temperatures in the 5th test. From the long term current feeding test, the LN2 circulation was clearly affected by the operation of the cryogenic system and the atmosphere, not only by the operation DC current. It was also confirmed that the Peltier current leads worked effectively for the reduction of heat leak at the cable terminal.
