Superconducting cable comprising at least a superconducting conductor and a cryostat positioned externally to the superconducting conductor, said cryostat including a thermal insulation enclosed between an inner and an outer coaxial tubes, wherein a protecting element is provided between the superconducting conductor and the inner tube of the cryostat.
Method for protecting a superconducting cable comprising at least a superconducting conductor and a cryostat positioned externally to the to the superconducting conductor, said cryostat including a thermal insulation enclosed between an inner and an outer coaxial tubes, from the mechanical damages to the superconducting material of the superconducting conductor due to the contact with the inner tube of the cryostat, which comprises the phase of providing a protecting element between the superconducting conductor and the inner tube.
Current transmission/distribution network comprising at least one superconducting cable comprising at least a superconducting conductor and a cryostat positioned externally to the to the superconducting conductor, said cryostat including a thermal insulation enclosed between an inner and an outer coaxial tubes, wherein a protecting element provided between the superconducting conductor and the inner tube of the cryostat.
