Abstract
A method of coiling a superconducting cable, where the superconducting cable is comprised of a plurality of stacked superconducting tapes, where the superconducting cable has a clocking feature that identifies an orientation of the superconducting tapes, the method comprising the step of orienting coils of the superconducting cable, such that a magnetic field from surrounding coils impinge upon a given coil at a desired angle, based upon an orientation of the clocking feature.
Claims20
A method of coiling a superconducting cable, the method comprising:
- providing the superconducting cable that is comprised of a plurality of stacked superconducting tapes, wherein the superconducting cable has at least one distinguishable clocking feature on a surface of the superconducting cable that identifies an orientation of the superconducting tapes,
- a step of orienting coils of the superconducting cable as the superconducting cable is coiled such that a magnetic field from surrounding coils of the superconducting coil impinge upon a given coil of the superconducting cable at a desired angle being circumferential or axial to the superconducting tapes based upon the orientation of the at least one clocking feature.
A method of coiling a superconducting cable, the method comprising:
- providing the superconducting cable that is comprised of a plurality of stacked superconducting tapes each having a substantially rectangular cross-section with a wider face and a narrower face, wherein the superconducting cable has at least one visually-perceptible clocking feature running along a length of the superconducting cable that identifies an orientation of the superconducting tapes,
- a step of twisting the superconducting cable as the superconducting cable is coiled to form a successive coil that is laid on a preceding coil such that a magnetic field from the preceding coil impinges upon the successive coil at a desired angle being circumferential or axial to the superconducting tapes based upon the orientation of the at least one clocking feature.
