Abstract
A project for a 30 m, 35 kV/2 kArms , 3 phase, warm dielectric HTS power
cable system is underway in China. This system will be installed in the
China Southern Power Grid at the Puji substation in Kunming, Yunan
province, in 2004. We have carried out a series of experiments to investigate
the possible winding angles and layer configurations of the cable conductor
with Ag sheathed Bi-2223 tapes, different LN2 cooling mechanisms,
termination configurations, and fabrication techniques. For better
understanding of the basics of an HTS cable system and practising new
fabrication techniques, a 4 m superconductor cable with terminations and a
closed cycle cryogenic system was built and tested. In this paper, we give
the detailed parameters of the 30 m cable system and the work plan of the
project.
