Abstract
A termination for connecting one end of a superconductive cable (10), wherein the end of the superconductor is made up of at least one resistively-conductive central support (12) of substantially cylindrical shape and disposed around the support, and wherein an insulating sheath (18) surrounds the superconductor. The end of the cable is stripped in order to reveal the central support (12) and the superconductor (14,16), and the termination has a metal sleeve (30) made up of two portions adjacent in succession, wherein a first portion (32) is engaged around the stripped portion of the central support, and a second portion (34) is soldered around the stripped portion of the superconductor.
Claims10
A termination for connecting one end of a superconductive cable to a conventional electrical conductor that is not superconductive, said end being made up of at least one resistively-conductive central support of substantially cylindrical shape, of a superconductor disposed around the support, and of an insulating sheath surrounding the superconductor, this end of the cable being stripped to reveal the superconductor, and a length of the stripped superconductor being removed so as to reveal the central support, said termination comprising:
- a metal sleeve made up of two successive portions that are adjacent end to end,
- a first portion being engaged around the visible portion of the central support;
- and
- a second portion being soldered around the visible portion of the superconductor.
