ENCLOSURE TO A SUPER LEADING CABLE AND PROCEDURE FOR BUILDING A FINAL CABLE FOR A SUPER LEADING CABLE

摘要

The invention specifies a termination (1) for a superconducting cable (2) which is arranged in a tubular cryostat, which serves for carrying a coolant, and has at least one electrical conductor. The termination (1) has an inner sheath (3), in which one end of the cable (2) is arranged in a coolant, and an outer sheath (4), wherein the sheaths (3, 4) are composed of electrically insulating material and insulating material is arranged in an existing intermediate space (5) between the inner and the outer sheath. The inner sheath (3) is connected to the cryostat, and the termination (1) is arranged vertically in the assembly position such that a lower part (C) of the inner and the outer sheath (3, 4) is connected to earth and an upper part (A) of the inner and the outer sheath (3, 4) is connected to high-voltage potential in the operating state. At the respective upper end, the inner sheath (3) is closed off by a first bursting disc (3a) and the outer sheath (4) is closed off by a second bursting disc (4a).
